He's also up for male vocalist and the Chevy fans' choice award. Ê"Entertainer of the year means the most because we're on the road and play a lot," Austin told the Sun not long after he heard the good news. Ê"It's nice to be acknowledged, but I don't get excited about awards. What does it for me is the attendance at the shows." ÊSo how does he feel about sharing top billing with Twain? "It'll do for now," dead-pans an obviously excited Austin.

Julian's brand new single 'Take The Money and Run' entered the Canadian charts at #52 and was the song with the most increased plays at radio this week. The video for this song was shot this past Wednesday night in a Toronto warehouse complete with 7 real life bikers (from the Paradise Riders), a scantily clad leading lady "Bobby-Sue", a cute but bad new brother "Billy-Joe", and a hilarious sherriff "Billy-Mack". Julian can be seen sporting mechanics overalls and a bandana in some scenes and then a floor length black leather coat and his trademark black cowboy hat in others! You can see it on CMT as of February 28. Start checking the tour date sections as Julian has a lot of dates coming up. Some of them can only be accessed by winning tickets through your local radio station, so stay tuned and request 'Take The Money and Run'!

On Saturday, Jan 9 while taking part in a rodeo bull riding class, ViK. Recordings artist Julian Austin was bucked off, landing on his back underneath the bull. The bull (now known as "The Austinator") landed on Julian's chest with his front legs, breaking 4 ribs, fracturing 3 others - one of the ribs punctured his lung. "The Austinator's" back legs connected with Julian's right leg mid-air and came down on top of it with his hoof, injuring the side of his calf quite badly but miraculously, no broken bone. Always the joker, Julian says the bull also kicked him fairly high on the thigh (if you know what I mean), thus creating a higher vocal range! He is home now taking it easy. At this point, Julian Austin fully intends on singing at the ECMA's in February.

Julian Austin was named Country Artist of the Year at the East Coast Music Awards (Feb1/98)

 

From the Canoe/Jam website...

Julian Austin of Saint John, N.B., took the country artist category.

Austin, 34, said he's in no rush to tackle the lucrative U.S.market despite early success in Canada.

"I think the Canadian country fans are the most loyal in the world," he said backstage. "I don't have any desire to move to Nashville.

"I'll make a presence down there but I definitely want to do big things in my own country."
