Your musical influences
With the bands flavorful arrangements becoming the canvas onto which Austin surrealistically paints his lyrics, the Mark Austin Band beckons the imagination to explore new boundaries. Austins work melds the influences of Jaco Pastorious, early Chicago and Steely Dan into a modern day pop fusion of acid jazz similar to genre pioneer Liquid Soul, the live jam sessions of the Dave Matthews Band and the solo work of Sting and Phil Collins also come to mind when listening to the Mark Austin Band. The Mark Austin Band has found its formula for success; when people hear their music they cant keep still, its that simple.
