Austin Williams and Truth Or Dare Records announced the artist’s new label partnership with RECORDS Nashville/Columbia Records during his sold-out show at Nashville’s Exit/In on Friday (Oct. 11).

“Some people work to leave home, but I work to stay,” shares Williams. “Nashville’s a 10 year town, so people move here to eventually claim their stake in it. Being able to sign a label deal is a dream come true for a hometown kid.

“When meeting with the teams at Columbia and RECORDS Nashville, it was a no brainer,” he continues. “They are the best in the business and have unmatched work ethic. When hard work meets hard work, everything that’s meant to be will happen.”

“We’re super excited about working with Austin,” says Barry Weiss, RECORDS Partner & Co-Founder. “It’s a rare thing for a 20-year-old to possess this much of a work ethic, drive and killer instinct along with such wide musical breadth.”

Along with the news, Williams treated the crowd to songs from his Wanna Be Saved EP as well as his Broken Things Break Things EP, and brought Trent Tomlinson onstage to perform Tomlinson’s “One Wing In The Fire.”

After wrapping his “Broken Things Break Things Tour,” he plans to support Chase Matthew on his fall tour.
