The long awaited debut release of Luke Austen's E.P. has finally arrived and the 27year old Brisbane based singer/songwriter/musician is excited to say the least! "2009 Tamworth Country Music Festival will see the release of my e.p and a new page to my music career" luke said.
After traveling Australia extensively for the last 5 years with country music super-star Troy Cassar-Daley, Austen has played major events like Tamworth Country Music Festival, Gympie Muster, Caboolture Urban Music Festival, Aboriginal Dreaming Festivals, A Day on the Green vineyard concerts, Perth City Muster, Darwin City Muster to name a few and had performances on Sunrise, The Morning Show, The Today Show and the Golden Guitar Awards. Before touring with Troy Cassar-Daley, Austen toured with music legend and award winning Bush-Balladeer Brian Young for four years. At the tender age 18, Young could see the huge potential in this budding star.
Luke has also played with Australian music legends including Jimmy Barnes, Kasey Chambers, Paul Kelly, Dave Gleeson of The Screaming Jets, Kevin Bennett of The Flood, Shane Howard of Goanna, Sara Storer, Wendy Matthews, Beccy Cole and Jimmy Little. After picking up a guitar when he was 6 years old, Luke has never looked back. At the request of one of his mentors, his father, Luke joined the family band at age 12 and hasn’t stopped playing since.
