The Aaron Austin Band

The Aaron Austin Band is a guitar forward instrumental group rooted in jazz, funk, rock and blues delivering rich textures, deep grooves, and soulful, unpredictable improvisation. Led by Eastern North Carolina born guitarist Aaron Austin, the trio channels the grit of ’70s jazz fusion alongside imaginative new takes on the American Songbook inspired by Hendrix, Trucks, Scofield, and Frisell. Anchored by Asheville standouts Jake Wolf (bass) and Ted Marks(drums), The Aaron Austin Band brings emotive playing and locked in grooves that keep every performance alive and in the moment. A seasoned bandleader and collaborator, Austin released his debut solo album in 2019 featuring Jeff Sipe, Marcus King, and the late Kofi Burbridge. Austin tours internationally with “Caitlin Krisko & The Broadcast” sharing stages with Tedeschi Trucks Band, The Wood Brothers, Mavis Staples, Kacey Musgraves, and many more.
