The Christmas Card was written in December of 2013. This was my first Christmas without my mom. I sat and thought about getting a card from her every year. I had not got one since she had passed away in June 2013. It is dedicated to her memory. I hope the words touch your heart and you enjoy the song.

Two brothers and their best friend looking to rock the world. Like most kids with dreams of fame and fortune, all they really wanted to do was jam. They tried everything they could think of to get into the music business. This passion to play and sing, and share their songs, found them playing out anywhere someone with a building and electricity would let them… school dances, a garage, backyard parties, weddings, and more. Almost immediately, this young trio of “brothers” started writing and recording original songs. When playing out, they found that they were connecting more with their audiences while playing their originals instead of covers. Over the years, they learned to play multiple instruments, honed their vocal chops, and refined their songwriting. Their goal has always been to write, record, and share with the world their songs of family, faith, and God. With the advancement of technology, home studios, and the internet, the trio have found a way to record and release their music.
Hoping to leave a legacy of music that will continue to resonate with people for generations to come, Cabela and Schmitt’s music continues to manifest a profound expression of love. Blending Rock, Country, Pop, R&B, Folk, Christian, and AC/Easy Listening music, Cabela and Schmitt have released more than 10 albums & EPs, and countless singles as part of their discography catalog.
The trio consists of Rich Cabela and Wayne Schmitt on guitar and keyboards, and Tom Schmitt complementing them with his distinctive bass guitar grooves. Together, the artists have embarked on a musical journey that spans nearly five decades, creating a memorable soundscape that resonates deeply with life’s unique experiences.
Their music begins with scattered thoughts and random musings on existence, much like anyone else’s, but then Cabela and Schmitt’s gift comes into play. These thoughts and feelings are transformed into melodies, the chaos turns into order, and words form verses.
More than just songwriting, the artists’ music is a means of channeling messages that they share with their audiences. Driven by a passion for making music, Cabela and Schmitt are pursuing their lifelong venture of telling stories of their own lives and those around them.
The most rewarding aspect of their music, however, is the continuous praise and feedback that they receive from fans touched by the music in profound ways. Drawing inspiration from icons such as The Beatles, Eagles, and Johnny Cash, the trio aims to paint their own unique and riveting canvas of music.
Cabela and Schmitt’s music has already been met with success. Their song “All Alone” climbed to #1 on New Music Weekly Top40 Indie Music Singles Chart for May 17 and May 24, 2024, #1 on National Radio Hits AC40 Chart for May 22, 2024, and #2 on NRH Top40 Chart for May 22! Their album “Go Country” reached #3 on Airplay Direct’s Top 40 Country Albums chart. Their Christian album “Raise Him Up” has also been very successful on Airplay Direct. Their song “Testimony” reached #5 on New Music Weekly Top40 Radio Indie Music Singles Chart, #10 on New Music Weekly AC/Hot AC Radio Indie Music Singles Chart, and #19 on NMW Hot 100 chart.
Cabela and Schmitt were honored to be among New Music Weekly Magazine’s New Music Awards 2024 winners as New AC Artist/Group of the Year.
Their scintillating new single, “All the Things,” is a delightful adventure, while “Time Accelerates” explores the complexities of finding happiness amidst life’s challenges. They are currently finishing a new fifteen-track country album, “All the Things,” featuring the single. Their new Christmas EP, “Begotten Son,” will be released in the fall of 2025.
Cabela and Schmitt have achieved a remarkable feat, amassing over 12 million streams on Spotify in 2024 alone, stunning audiences with songs that are not just melodies but are colored with layers of stories, emotions, and life itself. Cabela and Schmitt continue to be set apart by their ability to transcend genres.
All of their music is available for collaboration and for artists looking for new material.

This Christmas 2025, singer/songwriter Boni Jane has decided to record her own special version of her Christmas song ‘Christmas Magic’ which she has re-named ‘Be my Santa Clause’ (aka ‘Christmas Magic’). Last December 2024, her song ‘Christmas Magic’ was very successful in the US reaching No. FIVE when sung by jazz singer, Tammy Weis. It is a genuinely heart-felt song – all about missing a loved one over the Christmas holidays which, last Christmas, proved to be a success on a number of radio stations across America. This is a perfect song to add to your Christmas playlist to create an ambient background for your drinks party. Since last Christmas, two more of Boni’s songs :’Dancing with Angels’ and ‘Measure of my Love’ – were very successful and as of September 2025 they are both high in US AC Top40 Contemporary Music Charts – Dancing With Angels reaching No.1 for THREE consecutive weeks and Measure Of My Love currently Top5 at Number 3#.

Three words perfectly capture the essence of award-winning country pop singer Eileen Carey: passion, positivity, and persistence. Carey’s endless enthusiasm and determination to see the good in life has produced a career that teaches a valuable lesson: slow and steady may win the race, but genuine and likable earn the winner much applause.
Originally from Ohio, the California-based Carey is described by Elmore Magazine as “a little bit cosmopolitan, a little bit country, and a whole lotta musical chameleon, one who effortlessly blends pop, rock, and country music.”
Masterfully mixing those genres has provided Carey with numerous awards and accolades over the past three years, including the Los Angeles Music Awards 2017 Live Country Music Performer and 2016 Female Country Artist, as well as the 2018 New Music Weekly Country Breakthrough Artist of the Year.
Following in the footsteps of what The Hype Magazine calls a “long line of radio hits,” Carey’s recent single “Anything That Reminds Me of You” reached the top of the New Music Weekly radio charts in the spring of 2019.
That New Music Weekly placement solidified Carey’s seemingly permanent residence on national radio charts. Her title of AC/Hot AC Breakthrough Artist of 2019 put her in the company of other skyrocketing artists such as Post Malone, Five Seconds of Summer, and the duo of Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper.
Nashville Music Guide explains why Carey continues to garner favor with fans and critics alike:
“Eileen Carey has emerged over the last few years as both an accomplished storyteller and an appealing stylist. Her songs offer much needed messages of personal empowerment and emotional fulfillment.”
Perhaps most indicative of her blossoming career is the who’s-who of legends with whom Carey has shared a stage, including Wilson Phillips, Don McLean, Jefferson Starship, Rita Coolidge, The Motels, Johnny Rivers, Peter Noone, Nelson, and Tal Bachman.
It is on those stages that the charismatic Carey connects with fans of all ages and backgrounds. Music Connection describes the impact Carey and her top-notch band recently had on an audience at Hollywood’s famed Whiskey a Go Go:
“The crowd was hooked from the moment “Hearts of Time” began the night. Carey’s sassy yet humble stage demeanor gave off a Gretchen Wilson-meets-Miranda Lambert vibe, which clearly appealed to the crowd. Carey’s upbeat tracks had them clapping hands, line-dancing, and singing along.”
Whether it’s the romantic fantasy of “In the Air,” the sad-but-wise poignancy of “Let It Go,” or the sisterly advice to an unhinged friend in “Bottle Your Crazy Up,” audiences sing along to lyrics that reveal Carey’s genius for capturing the full spectrum of the human experience. Carey’s exceptionally positive take on life is revealed in songs such as “Faith, “In the Air,” and “Bring on the Big.”
It is this unfettered positivity that has inspired the songstress to take part in several projects aimed at making Carey, as well as those around her, healthier and happier human beings.
Whether it’s promoting physical and mental health via kickboxing and time spent outdoors, caring for animals through her work with FixNation, or providing thoughtful parenting advice on her blog The Music Mom, Carey strives to offer support and encouragement for listeners everywhere:
“I try to give people a different way of thinking about the world and their role in it. I want them to focus on the positive aspects of life. I genuinely believe that very good things will happen for them if they do.”
Based on her rapidly growing fanbase and the industry buzz surrounding each new release, it is safe to say that Carey’s approach is working.
