MEET AUSTIN B. SWEENEY
Austin B. Sweeney is a Pacific-Northwest-born artist, currently with roots down in Phoenix, Arizona. His sound combines the organic acoustic sounds of Mumford & Sons, Sturgill Simpson, and Van Morrison, with the electric west coast sounds that harken back to the Eagles, Pearl Jam, and Jackson Browne. His songwriting is self-referential and extremely personal, yet universal. It touches on themes of growth, addiction, freedom, anxiety, spirituality and the pure joy of an open highway. His debut album, The Wild, was released in 2019, with a new single and EP released in 2023. His new album, Long Walk Out of the Woods, is set to be released mid-2024. He tours extensively through Arizona and Oregon, amassing a strong following of fans and like-minded thinkers. He has shared the stage with Cody Johnson, Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers, Randy Rogers Band, The Black Moods, Drew Cooper, The Cole Trains, The Runaway Grooms, and many others. Tours throughout the rest of the country are being booked as of this writing.

Review from EarToTheGround Music for ‘Carryin’ On': “There’s a subtle blues energy to this track that makes it work right from the start. I’m a huge fan of the effect the organ has on the overall sound. The mix ends up being a bit heavy and heartfelt, all while being blended with this inherent optimism. “Soon the sun will be rising above the horizon. That’s what keeps me carryin’ on.” Amen to that, brother. Life goes on, despite the circumstances. The production on this track does a great job of allowing the message to resonate. It’s a great tune that allows the listener to connect with the lyrics to truly shine through.”
“The worst experiences you’ve had always make the best stories. The hope is that there’s a chance to turn a few of those stories into songs.”
