She is founder and operator of AddieBelle Music which produces her recordings. A native of Tallahassee, Florida, in fact a seventh-generation Floridian, she was raised on the land farmed by her family generations earlier. Young grew up in a musical family in Clearwater, where she was a member of the band Big White Undies.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe was graduated magna cum laude from Belmont University in Nashville with a Music Business/Spanish degree. Endless and unfulfilling clerical jobs along Music Row motivated this triple-threat singer, writer, and multi-instrumentalist to start her own record label, Addiebelle Music.[1] She also formed the short-lived band Liters of Pop with Eric McConnell.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe learned to play clawhammer-style banjo from Ketch Secor of Old Crow Medicine Show, and set about amassing a catalog of old-time tunes. As she says:\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"I got really into traditional music when I was longing to connect with my family again, and that led to trying to build up a repertoire that my grandfather was familiar with, the classic old-time and bluegrass tunes.\"\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYoung began gaining attention with her 2003 win in the Chris Austin songwriting contest at MerleFest for \"Sadie's Song\". Co-written with Mark D. Sanders, the song is a re-telling of the murderous bluegrass standard \"Little Sadie\" told from the victim's point of view.\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/Adrienne+Young","playStationPath":"/stations/267822897/play","stationId":267822897,"bioPath":"/music/Adrienne+Young/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/Larry+Sparks","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/7d0/7d050219ce94d5d570b720f9f054e897_md.jpg","artistName":"Larry Sparks","artistId":12053,"station_id":113822076},{"musicPath":"/music/Mac+Wiseman","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/1c6/1c66e1d31d1407b94f6b6846a11eb0b6_md.jpg","artistName":"Mac Wiseman","artistId":12041,"station_id":113622110},{"musicPath":"/music/Tres+Chicas","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/273/273467ae50cfb2478c932b54896d93cb_md.jpg","artistName":"Tres Chicas","artistId":114933,"station_id":282865412},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Wilders","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/1b8/1b83f75e9bd65908f64b1bc73dfdb22e_md.jpg","artistName":"The Wilders","artistId":98762,"station_id":277151065},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Bluegrass+Album+Band","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/259/259947497ceda03350de96e2c34a686e_md.jpg","artistName":"The Bluegrass Album Band","artistId":98764,"station_id":277151067},{"musicPath":"/music/Caroline+Herring","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/7c8/7c8c6b665b230a1c38b41e680b0b0c2b_md.jpg","artistName":"Caroline Herring","artistId":108240,"station_id":281787877},{"musicPath":"/music/Strength+in+Numbers","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/70c/70cb8ef6ce96ec78ff32397f999250ea_md.jpg","artistName":"Strength in Numbers","artistId":109629,"station_id":282140707},{"musicPath":"/music/Mike+Seeger","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/6b6/6b664a6fdfd1fde84310850857356cdb_md.jpg","artistName":"Mike Seeger","artistId":98771,"station_id":277151074},{"musicPath":"/music/Kate+Campbell","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/35d/35d152243647320442dfc327da908382_md.jpg","artistName":"Kate Campbell","artistId":13351,"station_id":115417055},{"musicPath":"/music/Hackensaw+Boys","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/1bc/1bc0d7cc2405bab8e97851c24a988563_md.jpg","artistName":"Hackensaw Boys","artistId":107303,"station_id":281656623},{"musicPath":"/music/Dirk+Powell","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/424/4249c89390e34c60c601c8229d0d5667_md.jpg","artistName":"Dirk Powell","artistId":7551,"station_id":113345602},{"musicPath":"/music/Cadillac+Sky","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/8fe/8fe565ec278b9a46d7ffec38167bfb85_md.jpg","artistName":"Cadillac Sky","artistId":12680,"station_id":113613999},{"musicPath":"/music/Jimmy+Martin","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/288/288a71c6b6e969f57ee2f2e89ba00cb5_md.jpg","artistName":"Jimmy Martin","artistId":98772,"station_id":277151075},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Country+Gentlemen","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/c1b/c1b9c12960bf779873ecff133f191ddb_md.jpg","artistName":"The Country Gentlemen","artistId":12036,"station_id":113290989},{"musicPath":"/music/Mountain+Heart","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/5d3/5d378ab60055a619adbc3fe62ad95060_md.jpg","artistName":"Mountain Heart","artistId":113937,"station_id":282638774},{"musicPath":"/music/Mark+O+Connor","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/d3f/d3f03d5935563839a889fc2388087d08_md.jpg","artistName":"Mark O'Connor","artistId":98744,"station_id":277151052},{"musicPath":"/music/Jeff+Talmadge","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/ba9/ba9b88f303dfb547a5f76d49b5d69db5_md.jpg","artistName":"Jeff Talmadge","artistId":94104,"station_id":287827890},{"musicPath":"/music/Lucy+Kaplansky","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b29/b29e053702d10326d1318ec3b8c364e5_md.jpg","artistName":"Lucy Kaplansky","artistId":102373,"station_id":280764119}]}
