Billboard-charting artist and former Roots of a Rebellion frontman, Austin Grimm, steps confidently into a new chapter with his debut solo album, Garden of Youth, releasing December 12, 2025, on all platforms. Rooted in folk, island-inspired rhythms, and heartfelt Americana, the album is a nostalgic reflection on growing up, personal growth, and the quiet power of everyday life.
“This record is a culmination of the last 20 years of my life experiences and influences,” Grimm shares. “It’s the most honest representation of my soul’s artistry, including songs written 18 years ago as well as 18 months ago. It signifies me coming back to my roots.”
Garden of Youth blends coastal acoustic textures with poetic storytelling, featuring standout tracks like the tender title track “Garden of Youth”, the nostalgic “Five Again”, the Latin-infused “Love From Above”, and the bluegrass-inspired anthem “Dancing Seed”. Other highlights, “Thinking Too Much” and “Relationships”, explore introspection, human connection, and self-liberation with warmth and authenticity.
To celebrate the release, Grimm’s newly formed band, Austin Grimm & Them Gold Souls, hosted sold-out vinyl release parties in St. Louis and Nashville, offering fans an intimate first experience of his new sound. Garden of Youth is a journey home—to self, soul, and sound—for listeners who cherish storytelling, simplicity, and music that heals.
