AWARD-WINNING VIRTUOSO GUITARIST, COMPOSER, & SINGER/SONGWRITER Hailed by NBC News for making "…the guitar sing like it was invented only to be in his hands," native Oregonian Tye Austin is dedicated to making classical and jazz guitar music more accessible to all generations. Currently based in Los Angeles, Tye is available for any event located on the Pacific Coast and greater US. He plays a wide range of musical genres from classical to jazz, flamenco, bossa nova, samba, tango, salsa, choro, and more. He also sings in five languages. In addition to his solo guitar work, he also performs chamber music with a violinist, cellist, harpist, pianist, jazz trio, and/or string quartet. Tye has performed solo at NYC’s Carnegie Hall, London's Royal Albert Hall, Shanghai’s Lidoway, the United Nations Headquarters, US French Embassy, and many other prestigious venues around the world. He has been interviewed by NBC News, National Public Radio, The Boston Guardian, and Psychology Today. Tye received his master of music degree in classical guitar performance under the tutelage of Eliot Fisk at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston. He furthered his guitar studies with Sharon Isbin at The Juilliard School in NYC. He also studied flamenco guitar technique with David Martinez at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Granada, Spain.

Review by Natalie G.

Birthday Party (Kids)Reviewed on July 2, 2019From Montville, NJ

Tye Austin did a wonderful job at our daughter's sixth birthday and family summer fest. We heard an excellent classical guitarist, the finest one can imagine, on a patio venue overlooking an enchanting pool and lovely landscape. People carried on their conversations as Tye played in the background. All of it combined -- the friends, the setting, the food, the children, the conversation, the occasion, and most of all, the incredible, soul-touching music, for an unforgetable effect. Tye is moved by the music as he plays and we too felt lifted up with a divine touch at our event. Thank you so much, Tye, for a truly excellent performance.

Cocktail PartyReviewed on November 17, 2017From New York City, NY

The experience, from initial contact through the close of the evening, was all excellent. Tye performed Spanish classical guitar for a cocktail reception before a birthday party, and his playing added to specialness of the evening. I would highly recommend Tye.
