Today we released our debut album, Shake It Out. 

It is available for purchase on iTunes, Amazon MP3, Google Play, and CD Baby. You can also stream it on Spotify and Rdio or purchase a limited edition CD.

After you download it, stream it or snag a copy, here are the top 10 ways to enjoy the music:

1. Filling the house with tunes on the home stereo while making dinner.
2. Cranking it up on a night drive.
3. Dancing by yourself with headphones at a bus stop.
4. Riding through the trees at Mt. Hood Meadows with your earbuds on.
5. Phone speaker on the counter while taking a hot shower or soaking in the tub.
6. Road tripping with your friends to find a sasquatch.
7. Humming along at your local coffee shop or work place on your computer.
8. Lying on the hood of your car enjoying a sunset with the doors open and the stereo up.
9. Pedaling around Portland with a ghetto blaster tied to the back of your bike.
10. Performed live by Mac, Spencer, Drew and Austin at the Elixir Lab on Friday, Nov. 8 at 8:00pm for FREE!

This album was made with love, high fructose ear syrup, enriched grooves and all essential vitamins. Enjoy it at your own risk.

Please join us for an evening of music in celebration of the release of Shake It Out, the debut album from Austin Stewart.

Featuring Mac Brown (guitar), Spencer Finnan (keys), Drew Nelson (bass) and Austin Stewart (drums), the band creates a fresh sound of jazz and funk, drawing on influences from Medeski Martin & Wood to the Meters.  

We can't wait to party down and perform selections from the album for everyone. We are thrilled to get this off the ground and share it with the community of folks we love!

See you there!

I am thrilled to announce the global availability of Shake It Out, our debut album.

On Tuesday, Oct. 29, check your favorite online music retailer, from iTunes, Amazon, Xbox, Spotify to CD Baby and Rdio, you should be able to find it!! If not, email me and I'll send you a hard copy.

This project has been in the works for almost a year as I began writing tunes for the album in the fall of 2012 and we recorded them at the Brown family cabin in the Spring of 2013.

The creativity, musicianship and focus from Mac, Spencer and Drew was incredible. I am so thankful we have these tunes documented and can't wait to share them with you.

Check it out!
