I recently became a Top 5 Charting Artist on the iTunes Country Charts! "It's A Girl" reached the #5 spot, while "Young Man's Six String" and "Don't Let This Song Hit You" reached #18 and #19 respectively. While this was unexpected and unannounced to us, I would like to thank all of my iTunes fans for listening to my songs and helping us with this accomplishments. Here's for more to come!
We are excited to share that I will be nominated for 3 Josie Awards at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville, TN on September 20!

I have been nominated for EP of the Year with 'Dusty Jones', Music Video of the Year with 'Can I Hold Your Hand', and Country Male Song of the Year with 'Can I Hold Your Hand'.

I am excited to share that I am now working with the group of amazing folks at Appalachian Memory Keepers, a non-profit preserving the history and heart of Appalachia, for their new "Sundays with Schott" series!
We first worked together when I composed two original pieces of music for their "Money On a String" documentary, a historic tale of how green beans saved the population of Ashe County. Every Sunday evening, find me on their Facebook page playing an old gospel tune to close out our week with The Lord in our hearts!
