With a remarkable track record playing across the United States, as well as being a multi-instrumentalist in numerous genres, it is clear he has a unique perspective when it comes to creating music. Hailing from Parsons, Tennessee, his interest in various instruments started at a young age when he began reading music in kindergarten while also gaining experience in the family band at church. By the late 90s, Scotty began expanding on his knowledge of music genres and branching out to multiple styles such as percussion and classical guitar performance before earning his spot as the band leader of the official NASCAR Rolling Thunder band for an entire season. His accomplishments continued when around the early 2000s, he won fourth place in the world during the International Blues Contest while representing Memphis, Tennessee. Shortly after, Scotty collaborated with a new original group and recording artist, Ash Bowers, along with Jason Aldean’s label, Broken Bow Records, as well as the sister label, Stoney Creek Records. It wasn’t long until Scotty decided to start his own original project, an indie rock band called Trash the Brand. He had wanted to record and play songs that he had written but never had the chance to play. Within weeks of forming, he was playing to packed houses and venues which in turn caught the attention of a few people in the music industry. Soon Scotty found himself in contact with Jeff Hanson (manager of Creed and Saving Abel), who offered to manage him. While negotiating, he asked Hanson to put him on the show with Saving Abel that was happening that weekend in Memphis. He was given the opening spot for the concert. A few days after the show, Scotty was asked to front Saving Abel in which he accepted and has since been with for over 8 years. Scotty Austin has used his natural talent and ear for distinct sounds to produce expressive song lyrics and music throughout his career. His hard work and dedication has continued to be met with astounding results, even landing him on a #1 hit video game soundtrack with the band Supernova Syndicate for the smash hit game Dead Rising. He continued to hone his skills and perform multiple guitar session work with various producers and artists in Nashville, TN. This led to him becoming the band leader for Jonathan Singleton, one of Nashville’s biggest singer-songwriters, and also playing lead guitar in the group Full Devil Jacket on their second record. Established in 2004, Saving Abel has spearheaded the genre of rock and since 2013, Scotty has been fronting the multi-platinum and internationally renowned band. Together for almost a decade they have toured the United States and even abroad. Scotty Austin has used his artistry and extraordinary flair for songwriting to bring unparalleled entertainment to music fans everywhere. After the world persevered through a difficult year in 2020, Scotty is looking forward to getting back to what he does best and creating music that will have everyone anticipating what he accomplishes in the future. THE ODDEVENFACEBOOK // WEBSITE Weed learned at an early age that he was adopted. In June 2019, he decided to find out where he was from and thought Ancestry DNA might be a good place to start... but after 3 submissions of saliva and multiple test results that said "cannot get accurate DNA read", he gave up trying to figure out his human heritage. Weed came to grips with the fact that he might not be from planet Earth, so he decided it made perfect sense to join musical forces with E.T. (another alien), and the nucleus of The OddEven was formed. The band line-up was rounded out with other seasoned touring musicians that summer including superstar Robb Wise on vocals. They quickly began writing new material while simultaneously booking opening slot road dates with well-known bands, Faster Pussycat, Bang Tango, Soulfly, Last In Line (Dio) and Nonpoint in VA, GA, and LA respectively. The OddEven also played headlining shows in FL and MS and closed out 2019 with showcases in Philadelphia and NYC. 2020 was spent writing and recording music as shows were cancelled and postponed due to the pandemic. After going through 7 human drummers since the band's inception, The OddEven went back to the alien well, and found The Monk to solidify the rhythm section in early 2021. The OddEven’s music can be described as riff-oriented hard rock, with infectious vocals and harmony. The late 90s / early 00s came calling and the band answered the phone. The first record, "Space Juice" arrived on Earth on 4.20.20. It spawned two singles "Again" and "Bleed for Something" which each cracked Billboard's Mainstream Rock top 30 and Foundations top 15 charts. In January 2021, the band started recording "Dance of the Dead" and released it on 9.24.21 (Pavement Entertainment). Touring commenced in July 2021 in Florida with a couple headlining shows plus opening for Slaughter and LA Guns. In September and October, The OddEven completed a 30 city cross-country tour with Adema and Flaw. Dance of the Dead (title track) reached #8 on the Foundations and #20 on the Billboard radio charts in Nov. 2021. The band will be writing and recording through the end of 2021 before heading out on another tour in the spring of 2022 and putting out a subsequent release - working title "Space Dust".
