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.

June 8, 2026Amazing Austin
We hired Austin for our son’s rehearsal dinner and he did not disappoint! We chose our favorite songs from his massive playlist and loved every song he performed. All ages at the dinner enjoyed his music. He even had us on our feet dancing! Austin’s talent would be a 5 star addition to anyone’s special event! Will definitely be having him perform again for us!

About
By the time Austin was asked by NBC to be on The Voice, he had already written and produced two studio albums before deciding to audition. Austin, after being chosen by Adam Levine during the blind auditions, was partnered with Josh Kaufman to create one of the season's most memorable moments by singing "Happy" by Pharrell Williams. The training and coaching Austin received during his experience on the show has taken his talent and career to an even higher level!
Raised on equal doses of R&B and Rock, Austin earned a degree in Songwriting and Music Business from the nation's top Recording Industry Program at Middle Tennessee State University in Nashville, TN. Hailing from North Beach, Maryland, Austin has toured North America, Europe, and Australia extensively. Austin captivates listeners with his soulful voice and warm acoustic style. Influenced by the likes of Jack Johnson, John Mayer, and Bill Withers, Austin invites you to relax and enjoy the music.

Press:
“I am completely captivated by his music. I think he is really special.”
Carrie Neuman, WRNR 103.1
"The first time I heard his voice I thought, 'No way, this is a joke, where's the hidden tape?' I was floored. You just never expect to hear that kind of voice right in front of you. It was unreal." Zach Troutman, WMTS 88.3
"I found myself hypnotized by his aura and delivery as I sat and watch his set. I find Austin to be a story teller like none that I've experienced."
Vince Anderson, Shockwave Magazine
