Austin the Performer
A cowgirl boot with a stiletto heel –
Nashville based Katie Austin's music is a blend of her roots from a
small town in Louisiana and her love of the city lights! Whether
she's performing one of her high energy, foot stomping songs or
serenading you with a bone chilling melody, she has a musical
identity that is genuine and found in all the songs she writes and
sings.
Katie Austin was discovered by the
entertainment director of Cowboys Dance Hall venues, shortly
after she first moved to Nashville. Cowboys moved Katie to
Texas where she became their female headliner for two years. Katie
performed for thousands of two-stepping, beer drinking country lovers
and also had the pleasure of opening for Joe Nichols, Rodney Atkins,
Big and Rich, Collin Raye, and many more. After gaining irreplaceable
experience on stage and lifelong friends and fans, Katie made her
next move and relocated back to Music City.
Back in Nashville the next chapter of
her career began. This exciting time consisted of many opportunities
that ranged from; performing on the Carnival Cruise Lines ship The
Ecstasy as well as the Carnival Magic debut, alongside
with none other than Maroon 5. Katie was also the only female, out of
300 hundred entries, in the 2012 "Battle For The Saddle"
finals for the world famous Wildhorse Saloon.
Watch the video of Katie on stage at
the Wildhorse Saloon performing Kerry Harvicks "Cowgirls."
Katie is currently touring on a regular
basis and songwriting full time along with recording new music.
“Broken Record”, her single will debut in May of this year, if
everything goes as planned. Katie has put three of her new songs into
a short soundbite titled New Music Sneak Peak, which can be found on
her Official Website and
Reverbnation.

Austin the Person
Katie admits she
loves food but she is also a healthy eater. In an email reply she
wrote.
“I love food, but I'm also a
healthy eater so I actually meal prep at home most of the time. I
usually eat lots of lean protein, avocado, spinach, quinoa, dark
chocolate.... things like that. However, my fav "junk food"
would be pizza, mac and cheese, donuts and ice cream.”
When I ask her
what she liked to do in her downtime and some of the things she
enjoyed while in town she wrote.
“My
favorite downtime is catching up with friends, shopping, traveling
and trying new things. I live here in Nashville so I love trying all
the new restaurants that aren't anywhere but here. Same goes for
shopping... I love going to the one of a kind boutiques. I also love
trying all the fun adventures that Nash has to offer lately such as
renting bikes, hiking waterfalls, playing Giant Jenga, and things
like that. I also love going to support my fellow singer songwriter
friends. And KICKBOXING. Lol.”
