“I want every song to feel like the coolest thing I’ve ever done.”
— Austin Meade

Austin Meade: Raw, Relentless, and Real

He’s an artist molded by red dirt, grunge, nostalgia, melody, and the raw spirit of vintage rock. But there’s much more beneath the surface of his music.

Austin Meade doesn’t play dress-up. When he shows up in grease-streaked work clothes, it’s because that’s what he wears when he’s building his bus barn, fixing his house, or chasing his two toddlers around the yard. And when it comes to his music, he delivers songs as unfiltered as a voice memo— honest and confessional anthems for outsiders about the weird, beautiful chaos of real life.

“I don’t have time for anybody’s bullshit anymore,” Meade says.
“If I’m not 100% in on something, I move on. I want every song to feel like the coolest thing I’ve ever done.”

Raised in small-town Texas by a Baptist preacher dad who took him to see AC/DC, Journey, and Judas Priest, Meade grew up immersed in guitar-driven storytelling across multiple genres. His voice carries that legacy— soulful, southern, and unmistakable—even as it swerves between styles. There are echoes of heartland troubadours and Warped Tour vets in his songs. The fusion is uniquely his: rock-and-roll urgency delivered with the swagger of a dive-bar poet and the heart of a family man.

From Bar Gigs to Breakout

Meade earned his stripes grinding it out across the Southwest—playing solo acoustic gigs in dimly lit restaurants, leading bar bands in a rotating cast of vans, and eventually sharing stages with Sevendust and Treaty Oak Revival.

  • 2021 – Black Sheep: A rallying cry and mission statement.
  • 2022 – Abstract Art of an Unstable Mind: Fuzzy guitars, emotional depth, and self-aware cynicism.
  • 2024 – Pretty Little Waist EP: Broke through rock radio with the Top-25 single “BLACKOUT.”

Now, his latest album ALMOST FAMOUS completes the picture— an anthemic, personal collection that shows who he is today: a young music veteran with plenty to say and nothing to prove.
