Celestial Hymns By Pedal Steel Guitarist Luke Schneider

Published: June 11, 2020, 4 p.m.

You might have heard the weepy twang of Nashville-based Luke Schneider playing pedal Steel with Margo Price, or more recently with Orville Peck. But Schneider has just released a new record of experimental and dreamy drone music for the end of the world, called Altar of Harmony. No matter how unrecognizable it might sound, this is ambient atmospheric music made with only the pedal steel guitar (a 1967 Emmons Push/Pull pedal steel guitar, to be precise), and processing (shout-out to Electro-Harmonix pedals.) Luke Schneider joins us from the Third Man Records Studios to play some of these hypnotic and meditative creations. 

Set list: "anteludium," "mundi tuum est," "Billie’s Song"
