Austin's parents lived in Texas long before they moved to Honeydale.  His father was a bartender and his mother was a painter, and when they had their son, they argued about what he would've been when he grew up.  His mother was able to put him into art classes in elementary, which is where he first met Trey.  Despite his parents trying their best to get him do what they enjoyed, he ended up neither being an artist nor a bartender.  His eyes were set on music since he found an old guitar buried in his backyard, the initials R.D. carved into the front.  It was old and needed a lot of fixing, but it eventually looked brand new and he's been practicing on it ever since, even if his parents don't approve of it.
