“Working with Austin will elevate your expectations of studio drumming. His extensive technical background and adaptability make him not only a versatile studio musician, but an exceptional teacher and musical director. Precise, steady, and innovative—I thoroughly recommend Austin Birdy.

- Miranda Serra (Pile, Boston Music Awards Studio Producer of the Year)

“Not only does Austin Birdy execute at the highest level, but his professional candor puts everyone at ease in studio and live settings alike. He is fantastic to work with and has elevated every project we have collaborated on. He's truly a great thinker, teacher, writer, performer, and director. He enriches scores and makes it look so easy. Austin's like Frank's Red - I put this [drummer] on everything!”

- Eden Rayz (Cellist on Grammy Award-winning score to Assasins’s Creed Valhalla, Third Eye Blind)

“I met Austin a few years back when he played drums for the 2022 workshop of my musical Catching Fireflies at 54 Below! Since then, he played for the Off-Broadway run of the show, several other of my gigs, and recorded parts for most of my folk singles. Not only is he incredibly proficient in what he does, but he's also there to help you create the best version of your vision. Working with him is easy collaboration where he's empowering your creativity while always staying true to the authenticity and goals of the project!”

- Flynn Faye (Catching Fireflies)
