Austin Plaine

I don't know where I could even begin...
I always thought being a songwriter & musician was just a pipe dream until it quickly became a reality and just as quick, hit me square in the face...hard. I signed a record deal and got dropped immediately after one album; the same album that included the song "Never Come Back Again", which has garnered over 22,000,000 streams on Spotify alone, and was also featured on the hit tv show "Nashville". I shot myself in the foot and lost my publishing deal in Nashville. I went on tour and lost so much money I had to move back home for a time just to settle my debts. I questioned going back to Law School. I questioned if I was cut out to make music again. I questioned life. I sat alone for a long time.
But, even in your darkest hour, a glimmer of light can open the floodgates to something even brighter.

Winter of 2019 was my darkest hour, literally and figuratively, so I decided I'd flee to a cabin in northern Minnesota and surrender to the heavy weight of anxiety I had put on myself and wrote what would become my third and perhaps most genuine and honest work, "Faded Feathers". Produced by Anthony da Costa and mixed by Dan Knobler, these 13 songs come from a place of maturity and the realization of how fickle and futile the world can be, knowing there's only a limited amount of time to change your life and circumstances. Best do it now.
