Scotty Austin, former frontman of the multi-platinum band Saving Abel, is back with a vengeance, delivering his latest single ‘Left for Dead’, released today. Far from being your typical rock star, Scotty’s musical journey is as unique as it is impressive, with a career spanning multiple genres and a lifetime of performance experience across the United States.

Born in Parsons, Tennessee, Scotty’s connection to music began early, reading sheet music in kindergarten and playing in his family’s church band. By the late 90s, his passion for various instruments had blossomed, leading him to master percussion and classical guitar. This talent earned him the role of band leader for the official NASCAR Rolling Thunder band, touring for an entire season. Not long after, Scotty represented Memphis, Tennessee, at the International Blues Contest, where he secured a prestigious fourth place on the global stage.

His career continued to accelerate when he began collaborating with recording artist Ash Bowers and Jason Aldean’s Broken Bow Records. But Scotty’s creative ambitions led him to form his own indie rock band, Trash the Brand, where he had the freedom to play his original songs. The band quickly gained attention, playing to packed venues and drawing interest from industry heavyweights, including Jeff Hanson (manager of Creed and Saving Abel). After one electrifying performance in Memphis, Scotty was invited to join Saving Abel as their frontman in 2013, a position he held for eight years, touring the world and solidifying his place as a rock icon.

Scotty’s hard work and artistic vision continued to pay off, landing him on the #1 hit video game soundtrack for Dead Rising with the band Supernova Syndicate. He also honed his guitar skills as a session musician for top producers in Nashville and led Jonathan Singleton’s band, one of Nashville’s top singer-songwriters. Additionally, he played lead guitar for Full Devil Jacket on their second record.

By late 2021, Scotty decided it was time to embark on a solo career. His new project, Scotty Austin, highlights his growth as a songwriter and performer. Backed by a high-energy four-piece band, Scotty’s solo work showcases his raw, unfiltered talent, blending powerful vocals, fierce guitar riffs, and deeply emotional lyrics.

With ‘Left for Dead,’ Scotty taps into themes of survival and resilience, unleashing an anthem that reflects his journey through the ups and downs of life in the rock world. His years of experience, combined with his multi-instrumental expertise, have shaped a sound that is both fresh and familiar, pulling from the depths of his diverse musical background.

As the world emerges from challenging times, Scotty Austin is ready to do what he does best: rock the stage, create unforgettable music, and leave audiences hungry for more. His solo career is thriving, and fans can expect even more groundbreaking music in the near future.
