Austin just shared a Father's Day Reflection: "On Raising a Songwriting Daughter, Part 1" on his Substack. Give it a read!

The “Origin Story” for Austin’s song “Where It Gets Exciting” involves David Bowie, John Lewis, and… JJ Redick? Yes, really!

Austin's doing the substack thing! Check it out!

Yes! Lansing’s own!

Looking forward to a killer show Saturday night with Debutants at UrbanBeat in Lansing! urbanbeat.ticketspice.com/debutants

The Ten Pound Fiddle's 50th Anniversary is coming up in less than two weeks? Who's going? #folkmusic #michiganmusic #folk #livemusic tenpoundfiddle.ticketspice.com/250412

We were so blown away by Debutants at Folk Alliance Region Midwest back in October. Thrilled to share billing with them next month in #lansingmi

Here's a 10-minute sampler of three of our best: - "For a Lifetime" (from our 2018 album, "Present") - "11 Time Zones" (from our 2022 album "One More Drop") - "She Will Rise" (currently unreleased...for now!)

The Dang Ps duo of Tamiko and Austin (austinkaufmann.bsky.social) perform "Time to Untangle" with the help of Anara Pearl (linktr.ee/anarapearlmusic) and Mori Rothhorn. Come hear it LIVE this Friday, 1/17/25, at 5:30pm North Star Lounge, in Ann Arbor! www.nstarlounge.com/events/hhdan...

This is Butter. She likes to help me change guitar strings. #catintheguitarcase #cat #guitar #musiciansky #michiganmusic #martinguitars #changingstrings

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas, from all of us Participles!

Austin’s daughter made some serious waves in 2024!

Proud of how much my daughter Anara Pearl has grown musically in the past year! From her first open mics to 10+ paid gigs… and still only 11 years old. (Writes better songs than I did at 19!) linktr.ee/anarapearlmu...

As 2024 comes to a close, The Dang Ps are feeling so grateful for every stage we’ve stepped onto in 2024. Huge thanks to the venues who believed in us, gave us space to share our songs, and helped allow us — along with our fans and your patrons — to "Create a song, add harmony, and sing along!"

This Michigan Music starter pack will skew towards the indie folk, singer-songwriter, and Americana genres. If you fit the bill, let me know if you’re interested! (Also included: venues, bookers, etc.) #michigan #music #indiefolk #folk #bands #michiganmusic #Americana go.bsky.app/MGghVRm

Anara Pearl joined us for several songs at our Holiday Showcase at UrbanBeat in #lansingmi #michiganmusic #folkmusic #music #livemusic #musiciansky #musicsky linktr.ee/anarapearlmu...

The Duo shared a fantastic holiday set with Andy Baker at Harbor Light Brewery in South Haven last week. #music #musicsky #musiciansky #singersongwriter #folkmusic #indiefolk #michiganmusic #michiganbeer

Aw, thank you, Steve! Very much appreciated! 🙏

Austin spent a couple of days away, writing, composing, arranging, and recording. Here’s the setup!

Seriously looking for good advice here!

It is #bandcampfriday, making it the best time to support indie artists. Thanks in advance.✌️ “Listening to ‘One More Drop’ is like a burst of dopamine.” - Dutcher Snedeker (Local Spins album review, Grand Rapids) thedanglingparticiples.bandcamp.com/album/one-mo...

Two years ago this week, we released our second studio album — "One More Drop" — into the world. Tomorrow is #bandcampfriday, the day where 100% of proceeds go directly to the artist! #music #musicsky #musiciansky #indiefolk #mittenmusic thedanglingparticiples.bandcamp.com/album/one-mo...

A few weeks ago, soon after the election, @brenebrown93.bsky.social wrote about how she felt like she "had no access to big hope." Her response: "micro-dosing hope." I took the idea of #microdosinghope and wrote a song about it. Here's the first part! #musicsky #musiciansky #newsong

Written following the March on Washington in 2017, "Widen the Circle" voices concern about the tough issue of immigration policy. #musiciansky #musicsky #indiemusic #indiefolk #americanamusic #michiganmusic

Sadly, the last two verses of this song feel just as relevant as the did when I wrote it in 2016 after a different election. #resist #musicsky #musiciansky

New(ish) song "Deep Cuts & B-Sides" (by Austin Kaufmann) was just posted to The Dang Ps YouTube Channel. About Austin's daughter, Anara Pearl: www.youtube.com/@AnaraPearlM... #musiciansky #musicsky #livemusic #indiefolk #folkmusic #michiganmusic #fatherdaughter

We'd love for you to give us a listen on Spotify! #musicsky #musiciansky #indiefolk #indiemusic #michiganmusic

Brené Brown posted about #microdosinghope and inspired a new song! If we can find just a little hope, I swear it can be an antidote There’s no vast reserve, No big supply. But there’s enough to just get by And little bits of hoping Are enough to keep me floatin’ I. AM. MICRO. DOSING. HOPE!
