Christmas Bells are Ringing EP
Artist's Biography
Cabela
& Schmitt are: Rich Cabela (guitar, keyboards), Wayne Schmitt (guitar,
keyboards), and Tom Schmitt (bass guitar, keyboards).
We are a trio of friends who have been collaborating for over 40 years. We
are all given a voice, in some way or another, to communicate how we see and
experience the world. We have chosen to expose our thoughts, beliefs, and
feelings in the best way we can....through a song.
Our music is really a snapshot of our life. The birth of a song happens with
just accumulating random thoughts on how life comes and how you react to it.
So, the thoughts are there, scattered, no rhymes, no order, just like
anybody can have. We always have music in our hearts/heads, and all we do is
learn what we hear. The melodies start playing, and suddenly those random
thoughts and phrases begin to fall into place, like they belong. Most people
call that songwriting, but we don't take that credit for ourselves.
About the Album
Christmas Bells are Ringing is an 8 song EP. New remixed and mastered tracks
for 2022. Yuletide carols old and new including Cabela and Schmitt
originals.

About the Album
LIKE A STONE
Permanent, stable, unmoving. Like principles, truth, friends, and love.
Yet a stone one holds in their hand can be harmless and entertaining as a
skipping stone across a pond, or it can also be used for harmful intentions.
We believe the world is good…this seems to be a view shared by fewer and
fewer people all the time With technology we hold the world in our hands.
Our devices can be tools for communication, entertainment, and loving
messages, but also for destruction.
We are bombarded with information, constantly…this is sometimes advantageous
and sometimes detrimental. We have slipped as a world society into letting
the opinion-based media, in general, influence how we think, act, and make
our decisions. Yes, we all need the news to keep up with current events, but
we must hold on to our God given freedom to use our own minds to form our
own opinions. The bible makes it very clear what our beliefs need to be
based on. We cannot continue to foster animosity towards people who are not
like us or don’t believe like us. This war must end peacefully…there will be
no winner, only losers if we continue on our current course. We have chosen
to put certain people and ideals above God in our lives and thus we have
created a world that appears to be broken, but in reality it is we who are
broken. What is said cannot be unsaid, what is seen cannot be unseen. But
there is hope knowing love can conquer all.

Artist's Biography:
Two
Schmitts and a Cabela, that's how it all started. Two brothers and their
best friend looking to rock the world. Like most kids with dreams of fame
and fortune, all they really wanted to do was jam out with their buddies.
Like all who came before them, they tried everything they could think of to
get into the music business.
This passion to play and sing and share their songs found them playing out
anywhere someone with a building and electricity would let them...school
dances, a garage, backyard parties, weddings, and more. Almost immediately,
this young trio of "brotheres" started writing and recording original songs.
Oddly enough, when playing out they found that they really preferred playing
their originals instead of covers, and they were connecting with their
audiences.
Well-rehearsed and armed with some studio recordings of their original
songs, they started sending out packages to anyone who would listen. Very
quickly, they determined that the music business was not as much fun as they
thought it would be. However, their God given gifts for creating and sharing
original music that was important to them grew stronger.
Throughout the years, all three members have learned to play multiple
instruments, honed their vocal chops, and refined their songwriting. Their
musical goal has always been and will continue to be to write, record, and
share with the world their songs of family, faith, and God. Fortunately,
with the advancement of technology, home studios, and the internet, the trio
have found a way to record and release 10 albums to date.
Constant students of the business side of music, Cabela & Schmitt continue
to find new and different ways to market and promote their music to their
ever-growing legion of loyal fans around the world.

to be able to bring these songs to life in our recordings. It's the most
satisfying thing when we get feedback from some of our fans who have been
touched by the music. That is so rewarding.
We are inspired by so many artists, not only by their music, but in some
cases their lives and examples.
We are releasing and promoting music non-stop and our hope is that it will
touch our audience in a positive way and help them ponder their life
situation and receive, believe and appreciate the power of love.
We want to thank all our fans for their great support.

A MESSAGE FROM CABELA & SCHMITT
We are a trio of friends who have been collaborating for over 40 years. We
come from the heart of the United States and humble beginnings. Our only
goal as a group at this stage in our lives is to share with others what we
have so freely and abundantly been given.
Every person has the God-given ability to choose how they want to view the
world. We are all given a voice, in some way or another, to communicate how
we see and experience the world. It is each person's choice how and when to
use that voice. Cabela & Schmitt have chosen to expose our thoughts,
beliefs, and feelings in the best way we can....through a song. We have
always wanted to share our music without giving up this wonderful life we've
been given, and we are so very happy and excited to be able to share with
you!
We want to express how grateful we are that you have taken the time to

or another.

Links
Cabela and Schmitt album notes for Golden Links
Some
things old, and some things new...Golden Links is a compilation of Cabela
and Schmitt original songs from yesterday and today. As fans of music, we
all tie our memories with a song, to an era, an event, or even another
person. These songs are links to our past. Even a new song can spark a
memory from years gone by. So with these experiences in mind, the name
Golden Links seemed to us a perfect fit for the album name. Golden as in
‘unforgettable’. The album art is a keyboard image, golden notes, and a
treble clef to reference the rare and powerful value of the right melody in
a song to connect us as listeners to something or someone significant.
In highlighting some of the music on the album, the new songs like In Our
Ways and What’s Inside, take us on a trip back to visit our early days of
creating music, and some of the reasons we stayed on this crazy journey.
Land of Love invites you all to join us on this trip. We share our personal
and worldly feelings about right and wrong in Lay Down the Law. We
acknowledge where our faith and the greatest love comes from in You’re With
Me and Into the Heart. Hey Can You See is a song from several years back
that we re-recorded for this album.
One of our hopes for you as a listener, is that you will hear something in
this music that has a significance for you. We love music that can deliver
multiple messages...something a little different for each and every person
that listens.
