Interview with Scotty Austin (formerly of Saving Abel) – January 28, 2022
Rock At Night was at OCC on the evening of January 28th to catch Scotty Austin’s performance. We last saw him at the Hops and Hogs Festival-Orlando in March 2021. He was performing with Saving Abel but later left the band that summer to pursue a solo career. In addition, he brought along his longtime friend, Saving Abel drummer Steven Pulley. Guitarist Jason Boatwright, who hails from Austin’s hometown of Parsons, Tennessee, and bassist Nick DiBlasio joined forces.
Rock At Night was fortunate to grab Austin aside for a quick interview. In this interview he discusses leaving Saving Abel, forming his own band, recording covers, and creating new original music.

Rock At Night’s theme song is “Get On Down If You Feel Up To It” by Billy “Bass” Alford
I grew up in a household full of rock music, studied journalism in college, and then became a scientist.Although my science career has served me well, music has always played a major role in my life. I grew up reading "Creem" magazine; I play several musical instruments as a "hobby";and it seems a camera has always been in my hand. Now, I am combining what I love the most--music and photography--serving as editor of Rock At Night. I travel between the US and UK seeking my dream! My motto: life is short...no regrets. Chyrisse
