Vancouver singer-songwriter Shawn Austin continues to prove he is Canada’s fastest-rising country talent. Having earned nominations for CCMA’s Album of the Year, Single of the Year, and Rising Star Award, the flagship artist of Local Hay Records had the No. 1 most played country song for five consecutive weeks with Gold-certified hit “Tailgate To Heaven (feat. Chris Lane).” 2023 saw Shawn receive the title of No. 1 most-added track for “Slip” and “Settle for a Drink,” both of which earned Top 10 spots on Canadian charts. Serving as direct support on national tours for 3X CCMA Entertainer of the Year Dallas Smith and ACM and CMA Award-winning group Old Dominion, Austin was recently on the road as a part of The Country MixTape Tour.
