What defines the sound of Cello by Austin?

At most weddings, he’s either playing classical music, pop songs, Disney, or worship music. With a classical training background, he often fills the prelude sections of weddings with movements from the Bach Six Suites such as the well known “Bach Prelude” to suite one. He has found that Pachelbel’s “Canon in D”, “I Can’t Help Falling in Love” and “A Thousand Years” by Christina Perry are wedding favorites.  Austin states “It’s a ton of fun leaning into the heart wrenchingly romantic sound of the cello” as he serenades the wedding guests. Whether an indoor, or outdoor wedding, Austin’s live string music takes NWA weddings to the next level. He plays by ear as well which serves him well when playing for recording projects and church services and even funerals. Creating his own part that compliments and embellishes a song while not dominating it is one of his favorite things to do on the cello. Although most of his work is in cities such as Bentonville, Cave Springs, Rogers, Springdale, Siloam Springs and Fayetteville, he has traveled to Little Rock, Hot Springs, and Fort Smith for several projects and is available to travel throughout the U.S. as needed. 

About Cello by Austin

Austin has been playing cello for over 20 years and has played for weddings, studio work, and given private lessons for the last 10 years. He received classical training throughout his Jr. High and High School years. As he was studying cello on the side in college, he began playing for friends’ recording projects and weddings. Soon friends of friends were hiring him and before long, he was playing for people he had never met. Spending so much of his time as a hired cellist is not something he imagined, but better than what he could have imagined! With experience gained by playing over 100 weddings, he spends most of his weekends playing for weddings throughout Northwest Arkansas where he lives with his wife and two young children.
