A New Voice Rises: Rich Austin Makes His FENIX Rising Debut February 11 At The Pheasantry

Rich Austin will make his official FENIX Rising debut on February 11, stepping onto the stage with the kind of quiet confidence that comes from years of lived stories, heartfelt songwriting, and a career built on authenticity rather than artifice.

For Rich Austin, this February 11 performance is more than just another date on the calendar—it marks a defining moment within a showcase known for spotlighting artists who value connection over convention. His songwriting, rooted in personal milestones, family moments, and a distinctly human sense of humor, aligns seamlessly with the spirit of FENIX Rising, where intimacy and originality take center stage.

Drawing from a journey that began on England’s Jurassic Coast and carried him through London’s vibrant live scene and beyond, Rich brings a sound that blends quirky pop-rock with melodic unpredictability. On February 11, that sound finds a natural home—unforced, emotionally resonant, and refreshingly unpolished in the best possible way.

FENIX Rising has earned its reputation as a platform for artists who refuse to be boxed in, and Rich Austin’s debut performance embodies that ethos. There is no spectacle for spectacle’s sake—only honest songs, thoughtful lyrics, and a performer comfortable letting the music lead the conversation.

As audiences gather on February 11, they won’t just be witnessing a debut—they’ll be catching an artist at a meaningful point in his evolution, one whose voice continues to grow clearer, braver, and more compelling with every song
