Acclaimed Golden Guitar-winning singer-songwriter Melinda Schneider is hitting the road this year to celebrate her highly anticipated album, Tender — her first original album in over a decade. Known for her heartfelt lyrics and soulful melodies, Schneider's new release marks a deeply personal and empowering return to her country music roots, embracing vulnerability, love, and resilience.
With Tender, Melinda Schneider continues to forge a powerful connection with her audience through authentic storytelling. The album includes a string of emotionally charged singles that showcase her evolution as both an artist and a woman. Fans will hear a rich exploration of emotional depth and raw honesty through tracks like ‘25 Hours’, ‘Words’ and ‘The Woman’. The new album’s title track, a duet, also features Australian music icon, Deisel.
Melinda reflects on the personal journey that Tender represents: “I’ve always been tender — in every sense of the word. As an empath, I feel everything deeply. My tenderness used to feel like a burden, but over time, it became a strength. This album is a celebration of that evolution. Now, I can be tender for my son, gentle with myself, and vulnerable with others.”
Alongside her music, Tender includes visual art that complements the album’s themes. Melinda’s unique painting process, which involves applying acrylics to plywood with brushes, twigs, and sponges, reflects the layered rhythms of songwriting and life itself.
As Melinda prepares to take her fans on a live journey with Tender, she is excited to share the stories behind the songs, the music, and the art. "This album is a reflection of my personal journey," she says. "Through these songs, I hope listeners connect through their own stories, feel inspired, and realize just how far they’ve come."
The Tender Tour will offer fans a chance to experience Melinda Schneider’s extraordinary new music live, with performances that blend heartfelt emotion and unforgettable melodies. The tour will also feature beloved hits from her iconic career, making it a must-see event for long-time fans and newcomers alike.
