    This band rocks.
    His singer is so powerful and unique, his playing sort of goes under the radar on first listen.
    Second time around, it's like wait, that was f'in slick, how'd i miss that?
    Big fan of the band but really appreciate Austin's playing more and more.
    From a bonafide SRV fanatic.

    I saw them live in Kansas City here in 2023. You can't believe how good they are. I loved their excellent recordings and videos, but they really are 10 times better in person. Austin is incredible on the guitar and Dawna's voice is powerful and unique in the tradition of the Blues Queens. If you ever get the chance to see this band, DO NOT miss it.

      Yes, I agree @greggmarkowski5203 - I saw them performing in Nashville and walked over to Austin and invited him on the show after hearing them. Thanks for listening 💥 🎶 🎸 !

    Austin John is a bad ass Guitar player and his band the Hi-Jivers is a awesome band I love it and can't get enough

    AJ and Dawna are criminally under followed IMHO. They do such a great job and their current band is perfection IMO. AJ is one of the most talented players I've ever heard. I can't even imagine how many thousands of hours he has invested into his playing. I've never seen a YT of them that didn't rock....awesomeness....thanks for a great upload bro

    From Saratoga Springs, I watch RUclips videos from the Eastside Bowl as much as possible. Austin, JD, McKinley, Fletcher just rip it up in the most authentic way possible.
    Super cool to hear thoes tunes come alive again🙏

    Great interview. What a great show that would be with the Blasters. Phil Alvin taught math at Long Beach State back in the early 90's. Saw him walking around a couple times when I was in school.

    It's not often that the rhythm guitar can be such a dynamic part of the band. AJ's solos are solid for sure, but the relentless solid rhythm is just a clinic. I'm 71, been playing pro since 1973, you dont hear this level of groove very often.

    Austin John’s tone on ‘knee high etc’ is incredible

      Check out the Hi Jivers vid ‘knee high and rising’.... Austin John’s tone is so sweet in that tune

    These guys are going to get big, with their great combo of blues/rockabilly.

    Austin is such a deep guy! For starters he knows Nick Curan and he just has the chops. And dude rolls on 12's, that's legit! He's not messing around and he deserves a ton more exposure.
