Chuck Schiele Music

March 10,  2026

Chuck Schiele is scheduled to release his 2nd production from his Love Letters project.  There are 2 prime ideas that represent  the Love letter's project mission. 

First: The works are decidedly positive in their lyrical message. Love, peace and all things positive by intention are regarded as art elements right along with rhythm, tone and pitch, and so on.

And: The project includes musicians that are not necessarily in Schiele's immediate working circle. "It gives me an opportunity to play with folks who are generally busy working in their projects and endeavors as I am busy working with mine." 

Schiele brings these various talents together with the musicians being from Central NY, Nashville, Los Angeles and Mexico.

Love Letters 2026

This year's project presents an all new Love Letters V.2 lineup. The legendary Leland Sklar will be on bass. Sklar has appeared on more than 2,000 charting albums and over 25,000 songs for all the greats—from Barbara Streisand to James Taylor to Phil Collins, to Lyle Lovett and so much more. Rich Redmond is constantly on tour with the Jason Aldean band, but also stays busy giving drum seminars, positive thinking seminars... he's an actor, released his own solo work, and is an author. Multi-instrumentalist string master Doug Pettibone will be on guitar. Doug is a permanent fixture in the Lucinda Williams band as well as touring guitarist for greats such as Neil Young , John Mayer, Tracy Chapman; and has recorded with Keith Richards, Sting, Elvis Costello and more.  Buck Reid from Lyle Lovett's Large Band is one of the world's very best pedal steel players-and will be bringing his magic to the project, Jeff Stockham who has a performance track record including luminaries such as Harry Connick, Jr., Tony Bennett, Ron Carter, Herbie Hancock.... will be furnishing horns for the project.
