Wendy Schettig... Christian Singer, Songwriter, Guitarist
MY NEW CD "RISE" IS HERE!!! Go to my "Music/Schedule" button, click on "Buy Music"
and get your copy today! I started playing guitar and writing music when I was nine years old. Music was always my best friend ... the people around me were all mixed up and music quieted the craziness. God seemed the only sane thing out there. We didn't go to church, but I knew God was out there... somewhere. Most of my music expressed my inner most thoughts and searching heart. I opened up my own music store right after I graduated high school in Camden, Maine (there weren't any music stores around and I needed guitar strings). It was there I learned to play ragtime and blues. At age 24, I chose to leave Maine in search of God. Thankfully, through a number of circumstances, I found God and my songwriting turned to Christian music. Much of my music has become a testimony in song as I continue to grow in my faith in Jesus Christ. My guitar playing is fingerpicking style influenced greatly by James Taylor and Bob Dylan. My singing was influenced by Bonnie Raitt (for bluesy music), Emmylou Harris (for folk music), Janis Ian, Eva Cassidy and Judy Collins. My songwriting was influenced by my dad who was a writer and the biggest part of a totally dysfunctional household (very fertile ground for songwriting)! But my inspiration is from God and what He did for me to straighten out my life. God is very, very good! |
