About Me

Austin Nevins hails from the woods of Mill Valley, California. Since getting his first guitar, Austin has learned to play a multitude of string-based instruments. They include the acoustic, electric, baritone, bass, lap steel, sitar guitar and mando guitar (occasionally the trumpet emits from his home and the neighbors rejoice).Immersed in the New England music community, and much in demand, Austin can be heard playing live and or on record with a host of talented musicians: Rose Polenzani, Josh Ritter, Anais Mitchell, Aoife O’Donovan, Mark Erelli, Meg Hutchinson, Brian Webb, Antje Duvekot, Neil Cleary, Jennie Stearns, Nels Andrews, Boris McCutcheon, Kristin Cifelli, Lissa Schneckenburger, Jess Klein, Rachael Davis, Jason Myles Goss, Dennis Brennan, Julie Rosenthal, Alastair Moock, the Armadillos, the AFS Jazz Trio, Mark McKay, Steve Mayone, Meg Toohey, Nate Borofsky, Deb Talan, etc... Austin’s textural playing has also found its way onto the soundtracks for a few independent films.Producing music is an area which Austin is making his way into. He is currently working on a album in his home studio that is due out in the near future. Austin has been teaching and is taking on guitar students in the Boston area. So if you are interested in lessons, feel free to get in touch with him...
