Air Waves Drift Out On The Road


Nicole Schneit's is a Brooklyn based songwriter who first found solace in her guitar, composing escapist songs with fantastical stories and catchy choruses. Not wanting to be tagged as strictly a singer-songwriter and desiring a full-band sound, in 2007 Schneit teamed up with a few other Brooklynites taking on the name Air Waves.

A few band member changes later, Air Waves is hit the road with Dan Bryer and Jordan Bernstein in tow. Creating a medley of folk, rock, pop, and country, Air Waves serves up fantastic imagery with unforgettable melodies with named influences such as Neil Young, The Clean, and the Velvet Underground.

Passive towards trends, image, genre and all things on the periphery of being in a rock band, there is a genuineness in Nicole's voice that echoes throughout every aspect of Air Waves, cutting straight to the essentials of communicating something larger than words.

Just days after returning from their debut European tour, Air Waves are hitting the road for their Spring U.S. Tour including dates with Seattle's Past Lives (featuring ex-members of The Blood Brothers), and performances at Austin, TX's SXSW Festival and an appearance at Monterrey, Mexico's MtyMx Festival.
