About Augustine
Augustine is a folk singer/songwriter focused on telling relatable, heartfelt stories through songs with catchy melodies.
TribLive's Harry Funk writes "“Augustine,” Russo’s six-song debut EP, demonstrates his ability to achieve the dual objective. He addresses a variety of topics, from facing adversity to celebrating life’s brighter side, combining his knack for lyricism with considerable vocal talent."
Augustine's discography includes lighthearted folk tunes like "Hound Dog Song," which he describes as a "love letter to man's best friend," along with "She's Only Sleeping When it's Raining," a melancholy tune describing a young woman's struggle with anxiety and depression. At the heart of Augustine's music is powerful storytelling and dynamic vocal ability.
His musical influences include Jim Croce, James Taylor, Glen Campbell, George Harrison, and Tyler Childers, amongst others.
His debut and self-titled EP is available on all major music streaming platforms with plans for more original songs to come in 2026.
