Career
Schutt learnt to play the guitar as a child and began playing the guitar and writing songs at the age of 11. She gave first performance when she was 12 and wrote her first song at 13. She studied at The Berklee College of Music and Harvard University. In 2002, she had throat surgery and did not perform again until July 2003. She released a five-song EP, Heart-Shot, in 2004, on which Schutt played a Novax 8-string guitar/bass hybrid for the first time.
She has released two albums, No Love Lost (2007), and The Telephone Game (2008), through ArtistShare. No Love Lost topped the jazz charts in Canada. Schutt was a winner of the jazz category in Session II of the John Lennon Songwriting Contest in 2007.
Winner of the 6th annual Independent Music Awards Vox Pop vote for best Jazz song "Two Halves of a Broken Heart". Schutt's "How Much in Love" was also nominated for the 7th Annual Independent Music Awards for Jazz song of the year. The Philadelphia News calls her “an enticingly languid vocalist, wry composer and sophisticated arranger in the pop/jazz vein.” In 2000, Schutt founded her own label, Wild Whip Records. She lived in Guelph, Ontario, Canada from 2004 until 2010, playing and collaborating with Canadian musicians Duane Andrews, Michael Phillip Wojewoda, Andrew McPherson, and the band Gregory Pepper and His Problems. In 2010, she relocated to Manhattan. Here her collaborators include Julian Lage, Scott Colley and the late Jim Hall. Her recent project is the band REDSTACK with Julian Lage.
