Standing Out With Your Own Sound: Country music newcomer, Austin Snell is bringing the energy to CMA Fest

A Georgia boy who was influenced by his dad’s love of modern rock and his mother’s draw to country radio, Austin Snell is bringing a new sound to Music City that is uniquely him!

Austin recently moved to Nashville, but he kicked the door in when he arrived. He has seen great success with his independent release of “Excuse the Mess” which saw millions of streams across multiple outlets.

We were able to catch up with him to talk about his CMA Fest experience, how he found his sound, and what he hopes his fans will get out of his music.
