Persistence — a recurring theme in Austin Gilliam’s music — has been a defining element of the Texas artist’s character since childhood, and fueled his transition from ubiquitous sideman to songwriter fronting his own band across the Lone Star state’s vital music scene. In the predominantly country music community where he “made his bones,” the brawny guitarist has resolutely blurred the lines dividing country and rock to establish his personalized “Americana rock” style.

Standing at 6'5" with his mountain man beard, edgy baritone and beefy guitar lines, Gilliam strikes a commanding presence onstage.
Gilliam’s 2012 EP Sunshine showcased his songwriting, burly vocals and diverse sonic palette. His infectious pop-rocker “Strawberry Lemonade” quickly became his “flagship song,” earning him local radio play and performance slots on Austin’s Fox 7 TV station, while the Oasis-influenced anthem “Convenient” has also remained a fan favorite and the steel-buffed ballad “Next Stop” offered the conversational comfort of lived experience. The tracks were unified by Gilliam’s dynamic fretwork, compassionate real-world stories, and strong melodic hooks that encourage audiences to dance and sing along.
