AUSTIN, BOBBY
Homebase: Wenatchee / Camas, WA.
Stats: 1933-2000
Misc Notes: Robert Allen "Bobby" Austin was born in Wenatchee on May 4, 1933. He played in local country bands as a young man. In 1955 he moved to Los Angeles and was welcomed into the SoCal country music scene. In 1958 the Sundown Records company issued a disc that featured his playing. In 1960 Challenge Records released Austin's first credited disc "Polynesian Baby." A bassist, he was hired to record with a fellow Challenge artist, Wynn Stewart, and also joined his band. From there he also got recording gigs with Buck Owens over at Capitol Records -- a label that signed Austin to his own deal in 1962. Within a few years Austin signed with Tally Records and released his classic "Apartment No. 9." After getting significant airplay, Capitol stepped in, licensed the song from Tally, and it became a No.21 chart hit that would be named as the 1966 Song of the Year by the Country Music Academy. More Capitol singles and albums followed, but by the 1970s Austin was recording for other labels including Atlantic, Design, Hurrah, Triune, and Syndicate Records. In the 1980s he returned to Washington, took up painting as an artist, and passed away in Camas on January 6, 2002.
