About

Austin Cunningham, Decatur, AL

Member Since: October 27, 2007
Decatur, Alabama

Early on in his career, Garland, Texas native Austin Cunningham carved out a place for himself as a songwriter. He has had songs recorded by artists such as Hank Williams, Jr., Martina McBride, Dolly Parton, Wynonna, Chris Knight,  Del McCoury, and the list goes on.  Austin has songs on feature film soundtracks including Ashley Judd’s Where the Heart Is, and the Richard Gere/Winona Ryder film, Autumn in New York.  He and his music are featured in "Hey Dillon", a documentary about one of the "last great DJs", Brett Dillon of KHYI in Dallas.  Austin has performed at the Sundance Film Festival for the Bluebird Café On the Road series, and a few years back, was awarded the coveted Johnny Mercer Award for “Emerging American Songwriters”. 

Although writing is Austin’s first passion, he is no slouch at performing, blazing a trail with live shows across the U.S. and is a favorite on the Texas Music Scene.  With a strong voice and some of the best guitar playing you’ll ever hear, he always manages to captivate his audience. Whether performing an acoustic solo, or rocking the house with a strat and a full band, it is entertainment at it’s best.  This is just good, roots music mixed with great stories.

 Austin has four CDs available for sale: Let That Poor Boy Sing (1999), Where I Come From (2002), Music in the Money Biz (2005),  and Made to Last (2009)
