"So I've walked into the Austin Grill and find Austin Ellis with a guitar and a soft and subtle voice, provocative and relaxing, soothing and enchanting. I found myself hypnotized by his aura and delivery as I sat and watch his set. I find Ellis to be a story teller like none that I've experienced."
- Vince Anderson, Shockwave Magazine 

"The first time I heard his voice I thought, 'No way, this is a joke, where's the hidden tape?' I was floored. You just never expect to hear that kind of voice right in front of you. It was unreal."
- Zach Troutman, WMTS 88.3

“I am completely captivated by his music. I think he is really special.”
Carrie Neuman, WRNR 103.1

"Soulful and insightful, Austin has proven himself a songwriter's songwriter. There's an honesty and purity to his voice that is undeniable."
- Kevin Johnson Jr., iTunes
