"Austin is an astounding player. His show was awesome. I loved all of it. I don’t sleep very well after great shows. I keep reviewing the songs in my head. So I guess it was not a surprise that I didn't sleep very well after Austin’s concert. My sincere compliments to him and his band. They did a great job for us and we will have them back."
Jeff Whiteley - Excellence Concert Series, Salt Lake City, UT
“I’ve seen Andres Segovia, Doc Watson in his prime a half-dozen times, Tommy Emmanuel, and numerous other splendid and wonderful guitarists. I’m also a fan of Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, and Django. Considering all these greats, Austin may still be my all time favorite.”
James Romeyn CEO Prime-Vibe Musical Instrument Seasoning Device

“Austin plays imaginative, original pieces and arrangements for solo guitar with a fine technique and excellent tone. If you like solo acoustic guitar, my guess is that you’ll find his music right up your alley.”
Chris Proctor, National Fingerstyle Guitar Champion
“Thank you Austin for the some of the best entertainment we have seen anywhere. You played with texture and joy. You are in the ranks of Leo Kottke, Tommy Emmanuel and Chet Atkins. There were soft, loud, exclamations and different tones. You sounded like a singer interpreting a song without the worries of exactness, but with emotion. It extended to your whole band. It was a night”
John Dobson, Artist and Fan
“Austin is one of the finest Fingerstyle guitarists anywhere.”
Mike Iverson, Blue Sage Trio
