Bryan Austin aka Austin Bryant: Calendar

I've had the privilege of experiencing Bryan's ministry live on two occasions. He clearly delivers a song from his soul to his hearer's hearts. One of my parishioners said she couldn't keep tears from her eyes as God's message poured from Bryan's voice. If you want to lift the spirits or your congregation or group, Bryan is your messenger. As for his CD, "Thankful for the Dream," "Center of My Joy" is worth the price alone. I never tire of hearing his voice, or experiencing the thankfulness for Christ's participation as the center of his life that comes from this song. And the range--just amazing, not since Johnny Mathis. Bryan Austin is thankful for the dream. I'm thankful, too.

His Eye Is on the Sparrow" critique


Whenever my spirit is low and needs to be lifted and ordinary words fail, I love listening to Bryan Austin's rendition of "His Eye Is on the Sparrow". It surely is his signature song. When Bryan hits those beautiful, pure high notes, my soul soars with those sparrows and I get such a calming reassurance that God IS watching over me.

"His Eye Is On The Sparrow" critque
Eye on the Sparrow. Hm... The only person I could think of, to sing it with every bit of heart and soul of their person. Using his God-given talent to its fullest. Why that's easy!! Austin Bryant. His range and quality of voice. It makes the angels want to sing along. Once you hear him, you will not ever, and I mean EVER settle for second best again.

A very moving and memorable religious experience at my church occured
this last Maundy Thursday. The Sonlight Players (The drama team from
our church and several surrounding churches) presented the Holy Week
events From The Last Supper to the Crucifixion and Resurrection of
Christ. Bryan Austin sang "Were You There When They Crucified My
Lord?" It was one of the most
impacting experiences I have had. There was not a dry eye from anyone
in attendance.. .including the actors.

Subject: Were You There

I just watched a dvd of a play called "Moments in Time."
At almost the very end there was a truly beautiful ballad called "Were You There" by a gentleman by the name of Austin P. Bryant, Jr. I've known his work earlier, but this is one of the most wonderful renditions he's ever performed. I hope this comes commercially available, since it has a lot of potential.

Best regards

BRYAN AUSTIN MOVES SPIRITUAL RALLY

About 150 United Methodist Men left the Kansas East Conference United Methodist Men’s Rally, Saturday, August 12 humming and talking about the wonderful musical witness of Bryan Austin. Bryan’s famous rendition of the beautiful hymn, “His Eye is on the Sparrow” left them breathless and then all were equally moved by “The Old Rugged Cross” sung as only Bryan can during communion. His warm spirit of brotherhood and Christian love for all permeated his performance.
