Austin Manuel release, Benjamin Michael David

**Austin Manuel** celebrates the release of his 14 song album, *Conception,* which focuses around the story of his conception, relearning his childhood, understanding his relationship to his father (d. 2017), and his rebirth in California.

Manuel was born and raised and lived in Nashville until his Saturn return catapulted him out to Los Angeles in 2017, while on a west coast tour on the heels of his father's death. Post-pandemic, Manuel started promoting shows under his AMPM umbrella (Austin Manuel Presents Music) at a small club in Atwater Village, cultivating a community of likeminded musicians around LA and beyond. He now lives in Highland Park, Los Angeles with his wife and baby boy and is onto his next venture as a record store owner at Healing Force of the Universe in Pasadena. *Conception* was co-produced in Chattanooga and Nashville, Tennessee with his friend, Matthew Rice Campbell, mixed by Sean O'Brien at Knobworld in Los Angeles, and mastered by Joe Lambert in Cortlandt Manor, New York.

**Benjamin Michael David** (spearheaded by guitarist Ryan Richter) opens.
