Austin Hollow

Austin Hollow makes their first Abilene appearance, performing songs from their debut release "The Fisherman" along with classic and contemporary selections from the band's influences and heroes.

 Austin Hollow is a four piece Roots-Americana Rock band hailing from Rochester, N.Y. 

 Assembled in 2018, Austin Hollow is led by founder, guitarist, singer, and songwriter Scott Austin.

 Scott's vision of writing and recording guitar driven songs reflecting his love of Americana, Jam, Blue Grass, and Classic Rock has come to fruition in 2023 with their debut full length effort entitled "The Fisherman."

 With a deep passion for real life storytelling, Scott touches on lyrical themes such as dysfunctional human interactions, love/ hate situations, social issues, spiritual strife, and the observations of life's abundant beauty and chaos. Musically, Austin Hollow quickly switches gears between guitar riff driven rock, soft acoustic ballads, soulful blues with hints of improvised jam, and blue grass that pepper the band's smart songwriting.

 The Austin Hollow lineup includes fellow singer, songwriter, and keyboard player Mel Muscarella. Mel's blues and rock influence shine, and her soulful, powerful voice is immediately felt when first heard. With a vocal intensity and passion reminiscent of greats like Janis Joplin and Ann Wilson, Mel's playing and singing provide power and swing to the band's songwriting.

 Jona Chartrand, the former founding member of the prolific Rochester Alt Americana group Hinkley, rounds out Austin Hollow's songwriting and alternative rock leanings both in the studio and live.
