Join Jake Schneider, owner of The CAZ, for a signature CAZ Dinner Show Experience.

Jake is a Buffalo-based singer-songwriter, architect, developer and the owner of The Caz. He is often described as a "Renaissance Man" for his contributions to the city's architectural revitalization, and his love for the arts. Schneider has transitioned from a successful career in development and real estate to focusing on his lifelong passion for music and art.

His music is rooted in the singer-songwriter tradition of the 1970s. Jake's songwriting features honest, thought-provoking lyrics exploring themes of love, loss, and resilience. He has released several albums, including In Search of Landaleigh, Time on Our Side, and When August Came in Spring. He is currently working on his fourth album which is scheduled for release in the summer of 2026.

Jake has performed in clubs in South Bend, Amsterdm, Munich, Rome and Paris and at many local venues; The Tralf, Babeville, and the Buffalo Covention Center.

This show will draw on material from Jake's recent James Taylor Tribute Show, classic cover tunes and some original material.

See the evening's set list below.

Jake will be performing with some of Buffalo's most talented musicians, including local veteran artists; Stu Weissman, (guitar) Carol Jean Swist (keys), John Bryans, (drums) Erin Hoyle (vocals) and Steve Truisi (bass). Jeremy Hoyle, lead singer for the Stickly Hip and Music Director at The CAZ, will make a special guest appearance.
