Austin Gilliam
AUSTIN GILLIAM
Fans recognize Austin Gilliam as a guitar player. Maybe it’s his six-foot-five viking-esque stature. Or his nine-inch signature pin-up-girl tattoo. Or maybe it’s just that he’s a really, really good guitar player.

But fans of the music scene know the media recognized more than three years ago: Austin Gilliam is a heckuva guitist — but he’s a guitarist with a killer set of pipes.

Austin cut his teeth in the Americana scene playing lead guitar and singing harmony vocals with the Scott Wiggins Band. His guitar and vocal work on the band’s sophomore album, “Burn” (Adam Odor, Keith Davis) was critically acclaimed and the CD netted two of the Top 25 singles in 2009.
