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

Austin Kaufmann@austinkaufmann.bsky.social · last yr.I've long desired a forum for sharing my music, lyrics, and other creative writing outside of just @thedangps.bsky.social accounts, and away from the algorithm-driven rat race. Hence, substack: - Video posts of brand new songs - "Origin Stories" for my songs - Reflections on songwriting
Looking forward to a killer show Saturday night with Debutants at UrbanBeat in Lansing! urbanbeat.ticketspice.com/debutants

Austin’s daughter made some serious waves in 2024!
Austin Kaufmann@austinkaufmann.bsky.social · 2y agoProud 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

Aw, thank you, Steve! Very much appreciated! 🙏
Steve Findley@stevefindley.bsky.social · 2y ago@thedangps.bsky.social put on a fantastic show last night at @Urban Beat. It was a complete Christmas/holiday show with a mix of holiday and original tunes, Christmas music bingo and trivia! Joined by the up and coming @Anara Pearl and @Keynote Sisters it was a fabulous night. Thank you!
Austin spent a couple of days away, writing, composing, arranging, and recording. Here’s the setup!
Austin Kaufmann@austinkaufmann.bsky.social · 2y agoSpent a little time doing a little audio/video recording today. Here’s a quick timelapse of me setting up shop! #musicsky #music #musiciansky
Seriously looking for good advice here!
Austin Kaufmann@austinkaufmann.bsky.social · 2y agoQuestion for #musiciansky, particularly for musicians/songwriters who are in bands: When you have good songs that don’t really fit with your band’s vibe/brand/audience, what do you do? #singersongwriter #music #musician #musicsky

A few weeks ago, soon after the election, @brenebrown93.bsky.social wrote about how she felt like she "had no access to big hope." Her response: "micro-dosing hope." I took the idea of #microdosinghope and wrote a song about it. Here's the first part! #musicsky #musiciansky #newsong
Written following the March on Washington in 2017, "Widen the Circle" voices concern about the tough issue of immigration policy. #musiciansky #musicsky #indiemusic #indiefolk #americanamusic #michiganmusic

Sadly, the last two verses of this song feel just as relevant as the did when I wrote it in 2016 after a different election. #resist #musicsky #musiciansky
