The “Origin Story” for Austin’s song “Where It Gets Exciting” involves David Bowie, John Lewis, and… JJ Redick? Yes, really!

Austin’s daughter made some serious waves in 2024!

Proud of how much my daughter Anara Pearl has grown musically in the past year! From her first open mics to 10+ paid gigs… and still only 11 years old. (Writes better songs than I did at 19!) linktr.ee/anarapearlmu...

As 2024 comes to a close, The Dang Ps are feeling so grateful for every stage we’ve stepped onto in 2024. Huge thanks to the venues who believed in us, gave us space to share our songs, and helped allow us — along with our fans and your patrons — to "Create a song, add harmony, and sing along!"

This Michigan Music starter pack will skew towards the indie folk, singer-songwriter, and Americana genres. If you fit the bill, let me know if you’re interested! (Also included: venues, bookers, etc.) #michigan #music #indiefolk #folk #bands #michiganmusic #Americana go.bsky.app/MGghVRm

Thanks! There are a few venue hosts, clubs, etc. but most are active Michigan musicians.

Many thanks, and here’s a link to a list of musicians, all from the fine US state of Michigan: bsky.app/profile/did:...

Aw, thank you, Steve! Very much appreciated! 🙏

The Dangling Participles @thedangps.bsky.social · 19/12/2024

Austin spent a couple of days away, writing, composing, arranging, and recording. Here’s the setup!

The Dangling Participles @thedangps.bsky.social · 11/12/2024

Seriously looking for good advice here!

The Dangling Participles @thedangps.bsky.social · 10/12/2024

Gave it a listen yesterday. Been a while since I came across a concept album that holds together as well as this one did. Definitely good but definitely for a certain mood!

The Dangling Participles @thedangps.bsky.social · 09/12/2024

Love “The Stage Names” and “The Stand Ins”! I haven’t listened to their other stuff. Equally good? -Austin

Well, many thanks to you for doing production work and helping other musicians! People like you are pure gold!

The Dangling Participles @thedangps.bsky.social · 04/12/2024

Indeed! We have another song inspired by Brené Brown’s writing. “Brave Enough” was inspired by “Daring Greatly”: open.spotify.com/track/6bNm41...

Brave Enough

The Dangling Participles @thedangps.bsky.social · 04/12/2024

That's awesome! I took about a decade away from performing while I pursued other areas of life, but I'm back at it again, though not really touring much. Maybe it's time to get your t-bone out again! (But maybe skip the tour bus!) 😆 -Austin
