STEVE AUSTIN, the founding vocalist/guitarist for long-running visionary metal outfit Today Is The Day, announces the details for the debut LP from his classic outlaw country/bluegrass act, Marked Cards And Loaded Dice, now set for May release on his own SuperNova Records.

STEVE AUSTIN is a rising force in traditional outlaw country music – an acclaimed songwriter, fiery guitarist, and magnetic performer whose journey from metal legend to heartfelt country storyteller has been nothing short of legendary. Born and raised on a horse farm in Lebanon, Tennessee, with deep family roots in the Appalachian hills of Chestnut Mound, he grew up surrounded by the raw sounds of Hank Williams Sr., Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, George Jones, David Allan Coe, Townes Van Zandt, Johnny Cash, and Neil Young. He picked up the guitar at age ten and spent countless hours trading old-time country songs with his father, Tillman Austin – a honky-tonk musician whose words and melodies would later light the spark for Steve’s return to his first love.
