| This page is dedicated to Canada's diamond in the rough, known by his fans as "The Austinator". Julian is one of those sad songs that turned into "The Dance". He could have missed the pain, but he'd a had to miss the dance, and what a dance it is. |
| Julian was a troubled youth that was on a one way trip to self destruction. He turned to alcohol at the tender age of 11, and then turned to drugs. Julian found himself face to face with the law, a cocaine dealer ready to take on anyone who wanted a fight. By some miracle he saw that he wasn't going to win this one, and his life was spared. |
| Julian was adopted, but knew nothing of this until age 17. |
| His adoptive father who was dying of cancer revealed the news, and told him his name at birth was JULIAN AUSTIN. Julian had lived as Ken McPhee for all his life, and that name was attached to everything he had known. For ten years he wrestled with "who he was". Happily today Julian has found his place in the hearts of his family members. |
| Julian spent time in jail, but by some twist in fate he wrote or co-wrote all but one of the songs on his album: |
| "WHAT MY HEART ALREADY KNOWS" |
| His ability to tell a story with music is a gift. Julian's life was a hard climb but, he has come out on top. Someone, somewhere, knew he had something to give and his fans are grateful. |
| Julian is a man with a purpose, and several causes; |
| he supports The Children's Wish Foundation, Alzheimers, and one of his songs is attached to the Ride for Sight campaign. |
| Julian would in someway like to share his experiences and |
| success with troubled youth, as part of his future endeavours. |
| Though he has found a home in country music there is still a little bit of bad boy in his blood. Julian is know for his black muscle shirts and black cowboy hat. He has the muscles to go with the shirt, and the eyes under the brim of that hat are true blue. He is stealing hearts wherever he goes, and leaving behind a trail of success. |
| Julian is a daredevil at heart and likes to live on the edge. |
| We wish however that he would stick to riding his bus to concerts in Fort McMurray, and leave the bulls to the other guys.:0) |
| If you have country music in your blood, and you love to hear a voice with soul, then you need Julian's Album. |
| You have got to hear his version of "Two out of three ain't bad" he will not let you down, I promise. Every song on this album makes you feel like you really know this man with the hat. Unknown to me Julian has another album out there on the TMA label, thanks Darren for the info :0) |
|
| For those who were unaware of Julian's accident, here goes. Darren informs us he was hurt in a bull riding accident over the January 9 and 10th weekend. |
| The information here is that Julian has suffered "A few broken ribs, a punctured lung, and a nasty cut on his leg." |
| I'm sure he would be happy to receive cards and e-mail's with your good thoughts. |
|
| GET WELL SOON, JULIAN WE ARE ALL PULLING FOR YOU! LOVE YAH! HOPE TO SEE UP AND OUT SOON! :0) |
|
| Good news, Julian is enjoying a speedy recovery, and word has it that he is singing better than ever...... if that is possible! He doesn't have much space for improvement but..... |
| even the best can get better I guess. |
|
| Julian has plans to start his new album soon and I'm sure everyone is anxious, like me to hear it. I'm very sure he will not disappoint us:0) Good news Julian is set to start recording his next album in April. He has also announced he is going on tour again this year....he wants to call it "BUSTIN OUT, BUCKED OFF, BANGED UP, BACK ON ...... TOUR" What do I think? |
| I think it fits the bill perfectly. We're looking forward to the tour and the album. |
|
| A special thanks to Ange for giving me the opportunity to be a part of the Julian Austin Webring. Check out her site it is great, but then again what would you expect from a Julian Austin Fan! Thanks Ange :0) |

| Here I would like to say a special thank you to Darren. |
| Darren has given me alot of help with my page, and helped me out above and beyond the call of duty. Thanks Darren for being such a good guy :0) Julian was right when he said you are a great buddy. I appreciate everything you do, and support you all the way. |

| "Blessed is the man who shares his talents with a friend, for he shall know true friendship" |
|
| Well rumor has it Canada's most eligable bachelor has married the love of his life. I'm sure Angela knows how lucky she is. Julian take good care of her, after all it's hard to love a cowboy, especially a brave one(bull riding takes alot). |
|
| Wishing you both many years of wonderful music! |
|
| Introducing The Austinators: |
|
| These are the great guys who travel with Julian and make the music. The Austinators are better than mom's apple pie. |
| Those who live on the East Coast get to here them even when they are not touring with Julian. They have opened for many wonderful performers, Collin Raye, Terri Clark, George Jones and Marty Stuart to name a few. |
| The Austinator like Julian volunteer much of their time to charity events such as, the Ride for Sight, The Children's Wish Foundation and The Special Olympics. |
| They gave 1998 a run for her money and you can bet they'll clean up in 1999! |
