Maggie Austin
Born in rural south eastern Pennysylvania, the youngest of five children, Maggie soon learned at a very early age both country values and her love of country music. Spending lots of hours on the farm doing the two things she loves best singing and being with horses.
like lots of her contempories Maggie had dreams waiting to take flight. The day after winning her first Equestrian US National Championship, she knew it was time to begin the process of making her next dream a reality! Taking the bull by the horns she walked into a recording studio and came out with her first 6 song demo CD Time and Again.
Having wrote 5 of the 6 songs on Time and Again. Every artist has their own way of encouraging the creative process and for Maggie this entails locking herself in the bathroom, she claims the lack of space and wonderful acoustics do it for her. 3 of those 5 tracks have climbed country charts around the globe these being taking time, touchdown and time and again. Country stars online says of Maggie her songs have a depth and emotion to them that sounds like they are from a more seasoned songwriter.
This depth and emotion carry over into Maggie's latest release Georgia Clay Road, Maggie wrote several of the tracks, although some are written by the best modern country songwriters in the business today. She says "I wanted the songs on the cd to represent a journey, the journey of life the good and the bad, the happy and sad, times that we all experience, while country music is made up of a patchwork of songs about loss, I wanted those sad songs to have a postiive outcome, where the message is that you are where you are until you decide to take action to change the situation."
Maggie became a sponsor for Cell Phones for Soldiers in 2005 she is donating a portion of sales to help purchase calling cards used to help soldiers fighting overseas call home to their families. "Being involved with CPS has been a wonderful experience", says Maggie. "It Demonstrates how small ideas can grow large enough to move mountains!"
All in all, Maggie says it best, "My love of country music was born out of my love of country life. There is nothing like being in the barn on a sunny summer afternoon with a light breeze and hearing country music on the radio, mingled with the joy of the outdoors!"
There is no denying Maggie Austin's momentum. With her music having been listed in the top 20 of the most played songs in Europe and her debut US release climbing on music row chart as well as being in the top 30 on New Music Weekly Country Charts and 12th most added single, the global demand for her music is beyond contention.
