"Intensity" very well could be the CD of year 2005. Austin has the talent for playing, singing and writing music literally bred into him. There was never a doubt in my mind that he would release an incredible record. Here it is folks! If you ain't buying this one and playing the grooves out of it, you ain't livin' right!"

"Austin Allsup is one of the most naturally talented guys I've come across lately. He writes great songs and has the swagger to pull it off with out looking like a jerk. I would bet he shoots to the moon."
Mike McClure - -
In my opinion the new disc "Intensity", should be
on every station playlist in the nation. Briley is a
great song, and I think track 9, Mexico is even
better. Bravo to Austin for the great writing, and
to all the guys for the great playing on this c.d.,
we will all see fantastic things from Austin in
the future.

Bio
Austin Allsup is a tall, intense, somewhat shy, good- looking young man with a warm, honest smile that easily draws people in and puts them at ease. He was born with music flowing thru his veins and grew up singing in his church choir and just about anywhere in general. His father is the legendary Tommy Allsup, who resides in Fort Worth, Texas. He was 17 years old when Tommy began teaching him the guitar. Austin quickly got “the itch” and knew that he could actually play guitar, sing, and make a living at it. His creativity began flowing and he started writing his own material and soaking in as much as he could about playing music.
At the ripe old age of 20, Austin met Mike McClure, and together they formed a dynamic acoustic team. They write songs, sing, and perform together. Mike produced Austin’s first album, “Intensity”. The album is appropriately named because in Austin’s vocals, the listener can’t help but experience the feelings and emotion of the songs. Most of the album is all of Austin’s original writing, with a few co- writes with McClure and Kevin Webb.
Austin has certainly done more in a very short amount of time than most. He’s played everywhere from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, to venues spanning across Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Tennessee, and all thru the mid west.
There is certainly something for everyone who listens to Austin’s music and watches him perform. Austin’s music and style is unique, with some influences from Alice in Chains, Van Morrison, Ryan Adams, Merle Haggard and Bob Wills. In addition to Austin’s powerful and moving voice, he is blessed with an extremely talented band like Tim Alexander on B-3 Organ, Mike McClure and Kevin Webb on guitars and Eric Hanson on drums. From the first chord of every show, Austin and his players have the audience at full attention, and they keep it until the very end.
Austin Allsup is certainly an artist that turns heads and is going to change the way that people look at independent artists.
