Mark's contemporary acoustic music fuses a broad spectrum of genres: from smooth jazz to acoustic funk. Add to that his agility with a pen and a six-string, and the result is a collection of songs that move gently and groove powerfully.

notes
Mark Austin's powerful debut CD, "Cool Water," includes a fresh lineup of acoustic guitar, upright bass, and a variety of percussion. But don't let the lean lineup fool you. "Cool Water" is packed with punch. And thanks to influence from legendary songwriters and guitarists such as Richard Thompson, Bruce Cockburn, Leo Kottke, and Janis Ian, that musical punch is packaged with Mark's tightly-woven lyrics and skillful guitar work. His music is sure to capture the attention and imagination of any listener.
Mark has shared the stage with Janis Ian and has worked with other artists such as Peter Mulvey, Susan Greenbaum, Steve Key, and others.
Mark has played well-known venues such as:
- The Birchmere (Alexandria, VA)
- Ram's Head Tavern (Annapolis, MD)
- Club Passim (Boston, MA)
- Jammin Java (Vienna, VA)
