With the release of Midwest Supernatural – singer, songwriter, and poet Austin Stambaugh has struck a classic country chord. The Ohio born & Nashville based artist draws inspiration from greats like Townes and Hank on his latest album. Backed by an absolutely excellent group of talent, the album’s sound is both emotionally evocative and skillfully crafted.
Co-produced by Benjamin Todd of Lost Dog Street Band, Midwest Supernatural follows a formula of stripped-down beauty, featuring dreamy pedal steel guitar and the haunting presence of the fiddle. Stambaugh’s yearning voice transports listeners back to his northwest Ohio upbringing, invoking a strong sense of empathy and connection. You feel for him & you feel with him.
Recorded live in just three days, Midwest Supernatural is a musical gem that should not be overlooked.
