Tim Austin is an American musician and former founding member of the Lonesome River Band.[1] He is also the founder of Doobie Shea Records, a record label he ran from 1988 until 2004. In addition to the Lonesome River Band, he performed with numerous artists, including Marty Raybon.
As a young musician in the late 1970s, Austin was traveling with the Bluegrass Cardinals, selling records, tapes and merchandise for the band at concerts.[2] During his time with the Bluegrass Cardinals, he met musician Buck Green who pitched a song to the group's founder Don Parmley. Parmley requested a copy of the song but Green never sent it to him. Austin later asked Green to send him the song which was one of the first releases for The Lonesome River Band, a group formed by Austin in 1982.[2] The group released its debut album in 1985 and Austin left the group in 1995 to focus on his record label, Doobie Shea Records.[1]
