DWDD Recordings Part I
Just a few words about the show yesterday. A while ago I was asked to play 60 seconds of a Prince song on DWDD. Due the amount of enthousiasm from the audience they decided to organize a show with all of the guests including me. I was honored because I knew some of the other names that would join me that night. Besides this, it was organized at the Melkweg which is one of the few places I’ve...

DWDD Recordings @ Melkweg Amsterdam
September 11th will be the day that I’ll get to perform the entire song ‘When You Were Mine’ at the Melkweg Amsterdam. Together with all the other artists that have performed at DWDD Recordings. It will be the same sort of setting meaning I will play by myself, on an acoustic guitar. Just, at the Melkweg. The other half of the artists will perform on September 4th. For more info...

Review Bospop LiveXS
”Stefan Schill komt qua songtitel met zijn Dont Say A Word wel even in de buurt, maar hij geeft juist aan de overkant het startschot van een heleboel optredens die in de tentstage plaatsvinden. De vergelijkingen met Prince gaan zeker op als je deze jongen hoort zingen. Het talent spat er aan alle kanten van af en in de lang uitgesponnen jams van zijn band merk je dat hij zich thuis...

Interview with Revolver's Lust For Life
Stefan Schill: “Ik hoop dat Bospop ons eerste memorabele festival wordt”
Geschreven door Mathieu Mannaerts maandag, 04 juli 2011 09:16
Op Bospop (8, 9 en 10 juli) staat Stefan Schill geprogrammeerd tussen grootheden als Ringo Starr en Joe Cocker. De druk om te presteren is dus groot, maar de jonge gitarist staat te popelen om zich te bewijzen op de festivals....

Been quite a while
Since I blogged on my very own website. Sorry for that. There’s a lot going on and I assure you that in the end you’ll be glad I didn’t waste my time on writing useless stuff and instead work on some music. Cause that’s mainly the reason of my busy-ness. The last few months I’ve been working on new material with new musicians and trying to get this second record thing...

I love sitting here and just play. Like, I recently took my ‘76 Vibrolux with me to my own apartment and instantly felt like writing.

Review Metropool Supporting Beth Hart (in Dutch)
Met haar nieuwe plaat My California weet Beth Hart zich wederom op de kaart te zetten als groot artiest. Keer op keer schrijft ze nummers die iedereen raakt, vol emotie. Soul met een rauw randje is ook van toepassing voor de support act Stefan Schill, die al wel bekend is in blues kringen. Met zijn debuut album Dont Say a Word weet hij hokjes doorbrekend te werken met een mengeling tussen pop...

So yeah I played some stuff at Giel Beelen. Which was really cool. We did a cover of Billionaire. Hopefully I’ll have some videos up soon. So try to stay updated and I’ll let you know.

De Wereld Draait Door

Together We're Invincible
I don’t know a lot about MUSE. I don’t own any records. And I never thought of Matt Bellamy as an amazing guitarist. Or artist. But that changed when I went to Rock Werchter. Their performance was so intense and perfectly played music wise that it would be ignorant to say they’re not all that. Because, there are..
I don’t really remember all the songs they’ve played...

Youtube
Hey there, I wanted to leave you a quick message about youtube and that I’m re-arranging some stuff. Up untill yesterday I used a different channel name that excisted because of my dark and mysterious past. I realized that youtube (like all other social networks) is a good way to share interests and musical experiences. Therefor I find it beyond important that everyone can easily find me....
On The Spot
I recently found out a way to keep myself from getting bored musically or whatever. This all happened when somebody kept requesting songs through Skype that I never ever played before. Which led to the following. I asked the name of the song. Looked it up on Youtube. Play it once while looking up the lyrics and after that, I had to force myself to play the song on my own. It kinda helps you...

Dutch Review Speaker Magazine
“Waar andere zangers vechten om bekendheid in programma’s als X Factor en Idols, doet de 21-jarige Stefan Schill het op een andere manier. De Dordrechtenaar haalt zijn inspiratie uit grootheden als Prince en The Police, maar ook recentere acts als John Mayer en Kings Of Leon klinken door in zijn tien nummers. Met dank aan De Wereld Draait Door kwam hij terecht in een...

Musicology
For some reason I have an sudden urge to explain music to you. As from my point of view. I don’t talk a lot about music in general. Which may sound strange but it’s really simple. There are a few things in life that keep you going. Each and every one of those things have their own place. They are their own world. I like to keep all worlds separated because I find myself looking for new...
Huntenpop
It’s been a while since I’ve updates this blog. But I wanna share this with you. Upcoming Saturday (August 14) we’ll be playing at huntenpop! Though I never been to this Festival, I can assume it’s really cool. Besides us there’s people playing like Kane, Black Box Revelation, Fiction Plane, Caro Emerald, Epica, Moke and Di-rect. For more info and artists you should...

Really enjoyed playing at Bokpop. The location was beautiful and the crew was too kind. Thank you so much…
BOKPOP & PEEROCK
After doing some radio shows it’s time for a live audience again. Starting off with Bokpop Festival July 18th. Which is tomorrow. Joined by bands such as Mook, Anneke van Giersbergen, Beans Fatback and many more. It looks like the weather’s on our side this time. And since it’s in the open air, that’s really good news. Anyhow, we’re starting at 14.40 in the afternoon...
ROCK WERCHTER 2010
My first experience when it comes to a festival that lasts four days. But I hardly think it’s my last. Still not within another year or so. I’m broke. Tan. And mentally/physically messed up. In a good way. I couldn’t seem to find a way to get some sleep. So I basically drank a lot of water. Had sex and listened to a thousand bands. (temperature:113 degrees) You can imagine that...

A Gift
Yesterday I went to visit the guy who fixes my guitars. Seven years ago I met him for the first time and this was also the first time he handled my Squier Telecaster if I’m not mistaken. Since then he kept working on my guitars. And mostly my 52 Reissue Fender telecaster. Which I bought after seeing one at his place. I also bought my amps of him. Why? Because he has absolute magnificent...

Let's call it a day
It’s the strangest thing to be where your at and not knowing what to do. But being unable to do nothing. It causes a massive conflict. I find myself seeking ways to get in contact with people I’ve never met before. They’re my reference. Unspoiled. Neutral. I can only do this for a certain amount of time before I start to think they really get to know me. Because when that...

Just a few more days.
Since our televison debut on DWDD everything kinda went fast. One of the biggest changes we had to deal with was the fact that our release was re-scheduled from April 21st to April 1st. This was great, though it forced us to delay our album release. This because of the tour and all. So we agreed on doing it May 30. We’d be back from our Europe tour. And people were...
Home
It seems inevitable. Aching for home. Familiar faces. Familiar places. I mean, I love being home. I love a hug from my girlfriend. There’s nothing better. Still, once I get back it feels like an emotional jetlag. It’s always hard coming back from something new I guess.
Everybody out there that came out and saw us play, bought the album or just showed their appreciation by saying that...
Somewhere in Germany
Sorry for my inconsistent blogging. I really thought I’d had all the time in the world to upload pictures and write entire stories about every little step I made on this tour. The opposite is true though. Most of the time I’m either driving around from town to town or playing at the venue. And when I have a few hours left I usually sleep. Apart from that I can only hope there’s...
LastDay in the UK
So this is it? Tomorrow is our last day in the United Kingdom. London to be exact. I’m tired and I’m really looking forward getting back home. Eventhough it’s just for a day. Anyhow, this hasn’t got anything to do with my experience over here. I loved every second of it. And I loved every person that I was able to meet during my short stay overseas. Tonight we finished our...
