Reviews and Testimonials
“To sing a song is one thing; to write one, especially a good one, is quite another. She writes in an intimate, slice-of-life style and has a positive knack for the type of powerful hook lines on which Country classics are built."
"Monica Austin's Opening the Star of the Show"
Rod Peck-Voice of Muscatine
"Monica's energy is infections-she doesn't just perform, she owns the stage"
Fan Review
"Austin has been heavily influenced by the great women in county from the 90’s. The likes of Wynonna Judd, Martina McBride, Faith Hill and Reba were her favorites as a young girl, and even today. You can hear the influence in her stage shows but there’s more, something Monica, true grit and powerful sound that capture the audience each and every time."
