October 5, 2026An Unforgettable Performance From Start to Finish
We had Austin perform a 30th birthday party for my partner, and I truly cannot recommend him enough! He absolutely blew us away from start to finish.
Austin has a phenomenal voice and incredible instrumental skills, and his ability to play such a wide variety of songs was amazing. He took requests throughout the night and somehow managed to make every song feel like it was exactly what the crowd wanted to hear. He was incredibly engaging with our guests and did a fantastic job creating an atmosphere that felt personal, fun, and energetic.
What really stood out was how much more Austin brought to the party than just being a musician. He emceed the evening, sang Happy Birthday, interacted with our guests, and even gave everyone the opportunity to get up and give speeches. He was essentially part of the celebration rather than just someone performing at it.
Our guests were raving about him all night, and we had so many people tell us afterward how much they enjoyed his performance. Austin helped make an already special birthday into an unforgettable night.
If you’re looking for someone who is incredibly talented, personable, flexible, and knows how to entertain a crowd, Austin Ellis is your guy. We would absolutely have him perform again for another event!

Austin is one of the most talented artists ever, hands down! His infectious smile, positive attitude, down to earth personality enhances his God given beautiful voice. My husband is difficult to impress, to say he was impressed by Austin is an understatement. Austin showed up and showed out to our annual pool party and somehow exceeded my expectations. He was absolutely phenomenal, incredible performer and a true talent. My friends and family also can't stop raving about him! Austin Ellis, you're 10/10 sir!

I was immediately impressed with Austin’s videos and knew he was exactly the vibe I was looking for for our event. From the very beginning, he was incredibly responsive, easy to work with, and professional. He arrived on time, was well-prepared, and helped create the perfect atmosphere for our party.
Our guests thoroughly enjoyed his performance. He played a wide variety of music, happily took requests, and connected effortlessly with everyone in the room. Beyond his talent as a guitarist, Austin was personable, friendly, and an absolute pleasure to work with.
In fact, I was so impressed I’m already planning to book him for another event. He has officially become my go-to guitarist when I need to provide entertainment for corporate events.
I highly recommend Austin to anyone looking for a very talented, reliable, and personable musician who will elevate any gathering.

August 19, 2026Amazing!
Just book Austin for your event. I promise you will not be disappointed! Communication from the beginning to end was great. Not only is Austin an incredible guitarist and singer he is an even better person. We met as strangers and left as friends. I hired Austin to perform at our Employee Summer Outing, and everyone loved him. He interreacted with the crowd, took so many requests and nailed them all. His lineup of songs he can play is just incredible. Thank you, Austin, for making our event so great! You are just such a lovely human!
