Blending the storytelling soul of folk with the grit of modern country, Austin Mackay is fast emerging as one of Australia’s most captivating new artists. Born and raised on the east coast, his music captures a life in motion—grounded in raw emotion and influenced by heavyweights like Chris Stapleton, John Mayer, and Gregory Alan Isakov.

Austin has forged a path that is equal parts authentic and ambitious. From humble beginnings in coastal bars, he has graduated to commanding stages at major festivals including Byron Bay Bluesfest, Howlin’ Country, BIGSOUND, and CMA Fest in Nashville. Along the way, he has headlined sold-out shows across Australia and New Zealand and supported acclaimed acts such as Max McNown, Morgan Evans, Brad Cox, and The Dreggs.

With millions of streams to his name, Austin continues to evolve his sound with deeply resonant singles like "Time to Learn," "All My Friends," and his latest release, "The Wheel." His songs speak to the working class, the restless, and the romantic—an anthem for anyone who has ever taken the long way home.
