Super excited to announce new guest, Austin Greene, to The Story!

Austin was born, raised, and currently resides in Gettysburg Pennsylvania; often feeling as though he was in the middle of no where, Austin imagined that he would eventually have to move to LA or New York to make his overly ambitious dreams a reality. But he's found himself increasingly satisfied as an entertainer in Pennsylvania. The idea that one has to live in one of the two most savagely competitive markets to make one's dreams come true isn't always the case. Since Austin was a child his dream was to play music on stage; his dream was to act in films, the good news that almost no one tells you is that you can do that almost anywhere today. If your dream is to have money and fame... that might not be in the cards however. But if money and fame are what you desire most about being in entertainment, than you might have more fun being a bartender instead.

Hall-Gulati, wove its way through a variegated orchestra fabric." Ms. Hall-Gulati made her Carnegie (Weill) Hall debut playing with the Alaria Chamber Ensemble, and her Merkin Hall debut, premiering Thea Musgrave's "Ring Out Wild Bells," with the Philadelphia Trio.
