Austin Mackay

Blending the storytelling heart of folk with the grit of modern country, Austin Mackay is fast becoming one of Australia’s most compelling new voices. Born and raised on the east coast, his music captures a life in motion. With influences like Chris Stapleton, John Mayer, and Gregory Alan Isakov, Austin delivers songs built on raw emotion, honesty, and connection. From coastal bars to major festival stages including Byron Bay Bluesfest, Howlin’ Country, Savannah in the Round, BIGSOUND, and CMA Fest Nashville, Austin’s journey has been nothing short of remarkable. He’s supported Max McNown, Jackson Dean, Morgan Evans, Brad Cox, and The Dreggs, while headlining sold-out shows across Australia and New Zealand and building a loyal, ever-growing fanbase. 2025 has been a breakout year. Austin hit the road with Max McNown (USA) across both his Australia/NZ and U.S. tours, marking his debut on American stages and setting the stage for his own headline shows and festival slots across the U.S. in 2026. Back home, he wrapped a national tour with Jackson Dean (USA) and his own capital city headline run celebrating "The Wheel," where he played to packed out rooms across Australia. With millions of streams and a string of heartfelt singles, Austin continues to carve out a sound that’s as grounded as it is ambitious. His songs speak to the working class, the restless, and the romantic.
