“I have known Bryan Austin for 20 years,” said Buckman. “He is an all-around class act and is a huge addition to our SandCastle team.”
Austin has established himself as a performer, producer and a songwriter, while enjoying a successful career playing guitar for such legendary performers as Steve Wariner, T, Graham Brown, Trick Pony, Josh Turner and currently country superstar Clint Black.

“Working with writers and artists to bring life to their songs has become a fulfilling and rewarding opportunity,” said Austin. “The key to being successful in Nashville is to continue to evolve with the music, while staying true to who you are. I look forward to guiding and imparting my wisdom and experience to the new artists and writers who will be joining the Sandcastle roster in the future."
