05/02/11 Austin Young Sat On The Couch


Austin is a 15-year old guitar sensation from Colorado. With his dad on drums and 16-year old Noah Mast on bass, they perform as Young Austin And No Difference.

Austin plays what he has dubbed “Texandrix Blues” a blend of Texas Blues and Hendrix inspired guitar.

Young Austin and No Difference were Semi-finalists in the band competition at the 2010 International Blues Challenge.

Sitting with Austin, we also learned what an intelligent, respectful young man he is.

Austin and I chatted about his life, the musicians he has been honored to play alongside and his plans for the future.

05/02/11 Krista Parrish Sat On The Couch

Her music is intelligent and her vocal range is astounding.

That might be enough to have you come listen, but adding to that, Ms. Parrish is a smokin' guitar player. Her song "Mexico" was selected for the Gods Of Indie Guitar album this year.

Last year Krista released Playing With Pendulums with bassist/husband Steven Murphy and drummer Michael Fazekas.

Krista and I talked about her life and where she is headed while listening to her music.
