Train Singer®

Greg has been aboard our trains as the Train Singer® since 1988, entertaining generations of travelers on the Redwood Route. In the years before Train Singer®, Greg received his early education at a boarding school in Exeter, New Hampshire. He later earned a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies from Sonoma State University. In the 1960’s and 70’s, Schindel worked the music scene in Southern California, where he developed his original style of music, described as “Northern California Transcendental Folk Jazz”. Schindel was the lead singer and songwriter for the musical group, “Kindred Souls”. His songs include thoughtful lyrics about life in the country, love, and experiences along the way. True to his heart, Greg fell in love and started a family, his greatest accomplishment of all. Over the years, the family has grown, and Greg’s musical talent has blossomed into the multi- faceted character he is today.
