BIO:

Reckless Saints founder Roy Schneider was 16 and in hiding when a friend loaned him a guitar.  Having access to a guitar again helped him survive while he waited to turn 18.  Roy went on to pursue visual arts, learning how to design toys in 3D, writing and then drawing a syndicated comic strip “The Humble Stumble” through United Media.  Ultimately, his passion for music that defined the Americana genre, combined with his innate ability to play most anything with strings, led him to give up the day jobs for a career in music.  He was making a living performing when he met his wife Kim Mayfield.  She added keyboard, mandolin, rhythm guitar, and harmony vocals.

Reckless Saints, the CD, has hovered in the top 50 on Roots Music Reports Americana Country chart since shortly after its release, and was included in their ‘Best of 2019’ and ‘Best of 2020’ lists. The album features production ‘Guidance Counselor’ Gurf Morlix on the lone cover- Blaze Foley’s Election Day.

The Fort Myers based duo decided to use BLUE-TWANGLED FOLK as the album title for their new release, while also adopting the title of their 2018 release ‘Reckless Saints’ as their new band moniker. Roy & Kim have released 5 CDs of original music – performing their songs in 41 (so far!) states, Canada, and two tours in Europe.
