Rarely do I feel the need to take the time to bash a venue or it's owner for doing me or my fans wrong, but this time it can't be helped. I must tell you that I had the worst experience of my 19 year career on May 22 when I was scheduled to play @ CITY BILLIARDS in downtown Aiken. I won't go into details about everything that happened, but let's just say that THE NEW OWNER SUCKS AND IS A MAJOR ASSHOLE! My family, fans, friends and myself have decided to boycott their business until they either shut down or get some new owners because frankly, the current ones do not know how to run a business or to treat their clientele, including Artists like myself. So let this be fair warning for all Performers who want to play there, I wouldn't suggest it at this time until things change. Just some friendly advice from someone who got screwed over! That's my rant for the week, thanks for your support and have a great day!

It's time to go cruising Country style with Greg Austin & the Carnival Fascination! Ship departs Jacksonville, FL on Sep. 14, 2009 for a 5 day excursion to Key West, FL & Nassau, Bahamas.

Well I finally got some T-shirts designed and printed and they have been selling like hotcakes!
I will try and post some pics of what they look like here soon but in the meantime if you want to order one, they are available at my live shows or you can send me an email and I will send you one.
I'm pretty happy with them and I think you will be too! Cause Austin says so!

Well we didn't get the call to make it to the Regional Finals in "Nashville Star", but then again there were alot of talented people who never get as far as I have.
So we'll try again next year!

We just finished cowriting a new song entitled, "In God We Trust", and hopefully it will be the title song in a film documentary of the same name. They have released the film trailer to several major film festivals and the feedback has been very positive, so if our song makes it in the movie, then that would mean worldwide exposure and that is a GREAT thing indeed!

We'll be uploading the acoustic demo of the song here in a few weeks so stay tuned for that!

Hey ya'll!

I made it to the 2nd round of callbacks at Nashville Star in Atlanta this past Friday, which means that I am now in the running to be a Regional finalist! I will know by the 2nd week in October if I made it so wish me luck!

After a very long day, I have made it through the first round of auditions. Tomorrow will be another exciting day...wish me luck!

We finally have all the songs picked out for my 2nd CD, "Southern Breeze", and we'll be heading back into the studio to start recording very soon. Stay tuned for song clips as they become available!
