Jiří Schmitzer also gained great popularity with his concerts, recitals with a twelve-string guitar and his own songs. He himself speaks of his music as acoustic-punk, but this is a slight exaggeration, because thanks to its unclassifiable nature, his concerts are attended by both rockers and folk lovers, as well as theater and film fans. He released four albums: Recital, Šílenec, Buda and Sbírka kiksů. He also composed music for theater performances, mainly for Ypsilonka's home stage, but also for the National Theater or the Drama Studio in Ústí. His music was also heard in several films. The committee published a book of its texts under the title Kanimůra ze Šardon.
