Leaving Austin formed in Austin, Texas in 2004 with Scott Austin on vocals, Jeff Terrell on guitar, Brandon Lupo on bass, and Josh Bailey on drums. Their debut album 'Blind Spot' came out in 2007, and the title track became a radio hit. That record helped them move beyond the local scene.
Drummer Josh Bailey left in 2009, and the band brought in Eric McCain. They had a legal dispute with their former label in 2012 over unpaid royalties. They kept making albums after that, including 'Echoes' in 2014. Other songs in their catalog include 'American Avenue' with Cassadee Pope, 'Get It On', 'Goodnight Kisses', and 'Heat'.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
