"Austin Hartley-Leonard, formerly of group St. James inc, seems to have broken new ground on his solo full length debut 'Franklin Ave.' The concert cellist-turned-singer / songwriter has been disarming crowds at Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits Festival and the like for a few years now, and 'Franklin Ave' is sure to enhance his already solid reputation as one of LA's great unknown troubadours."

"Given the onslaught of over produced country pop, it’s refreshing to hear Austin Hartley-Leonard’s soulful country-folk sounds: smooth without being glossy, charged with emotion without coming across as contrived. Country can be a dangerous word to throw around, but this music is sure to appeal to hipsters and high school girls as well as cowboys."
