Uwe Schrödersecker
Born in 1966 in a small town in the south of Germany called Nördlingen, Uwe enjoyed a carefree childhood and got his first guitar for Xmas at the age of 10. After a short phase of learning violin, he started playing the guitar more seriously at the age of 13-14 and finally got classical vocal- and guitar-lessons during his time at the university. After 20 months of civilian pubic service in Munich he moved to “Bavarian Liverpool” Augsburg. There he started a band called Zaphod, playing Rock/Blues/Psychedelic originals. The 4-piece band was pretty successful locally, but quit after 3 or so years, mainly because Uwe’s priorities changed towards his wife and founding a family. But music never really left him and he proceeded playing in his home studio and collaborating online with various musicians in the entire world. In the meantime, Uwe is back on stage with various groups: a Rock-cover formation called Sunday in Jail, the in 2018 re-founded band Zaphod, which in 2021 finally will be launching their first CD and last but not least as part of the pretty successful acoustic version of Helmuth Treichel’s Atomic Picnic Project. Uwe now lives near Augsburg with his wife Petra, works fulltime in a company and is trying to split his free time between family, his musical projects and the house and garden.

About Atomic Picnic Project
The Atomic Picnic Project is a musician's dream and has been in the works for a long time.
Known as pop rock artists with an enigmatic side, Atomic Picnic Project has exploded on radio and put them on the world map. There is something special happening with Atomic Picnic Project, the talented pop rock artists out of Augsburg, Germany and California, USA. Firm believers in the time-honored tradition of composition and careful attention to detail, Atomic Picnic Project's work demonstrates how personal and affecting music can be when the right elements come together. This legitimacy is discernible from other angles. There is a deep understanding of the techniques and traditions of the pop rock genre which is perhaps why the critics had this to say about the award-winning work: The CDs demonstrate the kind of cross-genre versatility that remarks today's most imaginative artists - but its wide-ranging aesthetic is anchored by an imperturbable compass for melodic elegance’.
Topics range from traumatic events in human history to compassionate love songs to tributes to friendship to just plain and simple (well, not so simple) rock. The use of various professional musicians and singers contributed to the intensity and variety of this project. "We are all marked by vast and interesting life experiences, and have our heads full of creativity and creative drive." True to our mantra: forget your ego! The musicians that deliver the best result are participating in our journey.
Some press comments:
'Pop rock does not get any more inspired than this; Atomic Picnic Project’ ‘Raven’s Dance’ knows how to fill the canvas with authentic emotions that are vulnerable enough for listeners to relate to and truthful enough to hold onto.'
'We thought the ambition required to conceive a multi‑movement prog‑rock saga in the style of Genesis was long dead ‑ not so; 'Out Of My Shell' is a mind‑bending continuum of concept unto itself. The whole album is astounding!'
