Likely Stories is a Madison-based group of three singer/songwriters who share songwriting and lead vocal duties and accompany each other on backing vocals, keyboards, cello, guitar, percussion, and sometimes fiddle, melodica and more! These three musicians bring radically diverse styles together in an amazingly satisfying way.

Dave Schindele writes and performs music for voice and piano. Its style is contemporary, with elements of jazz, classical, rock and musical theater. Favorite inspirations include singer-songwriters such as Carole King and Burt Bacharach, Broadway composers such as Stephen Sondheim, and Impressionists such as Claude Debussy. Dave’s songs explore original musical territory and try to provide a medium for forecasting,working out and encapsulating the inner life. |
Singer-songwriter-keyboardist Nancy Rost has been called "the love child of Tom Lehrer and Tom Waits" (KnowYourMusic.com). Her distinctive songs combine a jazz-influenced piano style with lyrics that are quirky, witty and heartfelt, often all at once. Nancy's performances often include elements of improvisation: "The laughter in the crowd is contagious, as everyone's thoughts are mixed in
a tart, though
refreshing, concoction of high witticisms and ardent applause." |
