Don Schiff

Don Schiff is a progressive musician in the truest sense of the word. Growing up in a very musical family in Delaware and starting his career as a bass player in 1970s Las Vegas, Don journeyed through the fire by playing with everyone from Tina Turner to Elvis. Yes, really! In more recent years, Schiff played and / or wrote for Lana Lane, Erik Norlander, Rocket Scientists, Sheryl Crow, Pat Benatar and Eddie Money.

Don is also a leading player of the instruments of Emmett Chapman and Stick Enterprises, inventors of the Chapman Stick, Grand Stick and new NS/Stick. Don received the very first NS/Stick ever built, and he continues to use it to this day as his primary voice, pushing the boundaries of the instrument with new and innovative techniques.

Peering Over Clouds is the latest effort from the Stick virtuoso. Peering Over Clouds is a progressive rock instrumental CD featuring Don on the NS/Stick and Greg Ellis on percussion. Included songs are a new version of Don's "Under the Olive Tree" (first heard on Lana's Garden of the Moon album) and Don's new cover of "A Whiter Shade of Pale". Over 70 minutes of music. Peering Over Clouds features cover art from Jacek Yerka and the usual high audio quality you expect from a Think Tank Media release.
