With rugged vocals that can melt into smooth melodies, he grabs an audience s soul and does not let go even after the last note fades away.

Along the way, he came up with a unique sound that encompasses the diverse styles of the musically fertile Southwest, but with a genius for intelligent lyrics and wry humor. I know it doesn t come easy, but if the wheels on my van keep taking me up and down the road and I can make a living doing what I love, then there s not too much wrong with that.

Without any intentions on letting up, Austin has just finished producing his newest record Cryin Out Loud with friend and producer Mike McClure. Austin s voice is both commanding and free, attached to a decent conscience, a fierce mind, and set to the kind of melody that imbeds itself long after the song is heard.
