Schneider, who is Jewish, said he "grew up on the records of Allan Sherman, Woody Allen, and Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner" and wanted to create a Hannukah album that was funny as well as musically interesting.[1] He and Adam Gardner created the album "Hanukkah Rocks" in 2005 and worked with Matisyahu on a collaboration in 2015.[1][2][3]

Schneider was the on-ice MC for The Bridgeport Sound Tigers from 2001 to 2012.[4]

Schneider plays a 1965 Gibson ES-335, a guitar that got seriously damaged by baggage handlers at an airport in Detroit in 2013.[5] Delta Airlines initially refused to pay in full for the repairs but eventually relented, and Gibson offered to do the repairs for free, and also offered Schneider a brand-new 50th anniversary reissue of a 1963 Gibson ES-335.[6]

Personal life

Schneider grew up in Trumbull, Connecticut.[7] He is married and lives in Fairfield Connecticut and is the co-owner, with his father Robert, of Jimmy's Army-Navy in Bridgeport, Connecticut.[8][9]
