Jodi will begin this year with the Middle Creek Theatre on March 13, 2010.  She comes with a great background that we have displayed below.  Be sure and welcome her into our Family!

As soon as she was old enough to sit on her Daddy's lap and hold drum sticks, Jodi Austin began her musical career. Being a professional drummer, it was only natural for Byron Austin to teach his daughter the drums as her first instrument. Little did he know back then what would be in store for his talented young apprentice.

It was obvious from the beginning that God had given Jodi a gift of music. At 5 and a half, she landed her first gig. Before long, she was a regular at the Fun House Pizza and Pub. Every Saturday night people would pack in to eat pizza and watch the young drummer play and sing.

The drums were only the beginning. Soon she was playing piano, flute, vibes, bass guitar, and anything else she could find in her dad's music room.

As Jodi grew into a young woman, people realized her vocal talents were every bit as amazing as her instrumental talents. She continued to play gigs with various bands until, at the age of 13, she began to play and sing lead. It was time to form her own band.

During her young teen-age career, Jodi performed 2 years at Worlds of Fun Theme Park in Kansas City, MO and was featured in numerous radio and TV commercials. At the age of 19, Jodi became the organist for the Kansas City Royals. She was the youngest musician in Major League Baseball and found herself featured on radio and television. Each night, she would play for average crowds of 30,000 people.
