SCHOS – The Band

SCHOS works as a band across national borders. The musicians involved record their parts in professional studios and recording setups; the production is centrally coordinated and musically brought together.

Georg „Schos" Riedl

Musician · Producer · Songwriter · Mixing & Mastering

Schos Riedl is a musician, songwriter, mixing and mastering engineer with roots in Bavaria. His musical path began early: at the age of six he learned accordion from his father, later receiving classical training from Leo Rose in Passau. This foundation still shapes his work as a musician and producer. After playing in cover bands, he founded the band SCHOS, whose debut album “Timeless Season” was released in 2025. His style combines rock, blues and ballads with modern production techniques. The songs are available on platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music. Georg Riedl worked with the respected musicians Oneida James-Rebeccu and Norbert Fimpel, both long-time members of Joe Cocker’s live band. Oneida James-Rebeccu joined Joe Cocker as bassist in September 2001 and played more than 500 concerts across four world tours. Norbert Fimpel, saxophonist and percussionist, was also a fixed member of the Joe Cocker band for several years. As a former business IT specialist, Riedl built his own recording studio in 2009 — from acoustics to technical setup, entirely on his own. His international networking through the internet enables him to work with respected musicians.
