Gary Schafer -The Pickin Pilot

I’m Gary Schafer, an independent singer-songwriter creating original music and select covers inspired by rock, blues, country, and folk.

After a long career as a military and airline pilot, I’m now fully following my lifelong passion for music. I’ve been playing guitar and singing since childhood, performing in bands and writing original songs rooted in real life, personal stories, and honest emotion.

All music on this channel is recorded by me in my small home studio. From vocals and guitars to keys and arrangements, everything is handmade. No big production. No shortcuts. Just authentic music.

On this channel, you’ll find original songs, acoustic and electric performances, and story-driven songwriting for listeners who appreciate real music with heart.

New original songs and performances are uploaded regularly.
My music is also available on Spotify, Amazon Music, Pandora, iTunes, and other streaming services.

Thanks for listening, and welcome aboard.
