Adrienne Young

I was frequenting the Matthew Ryan website, as I often do, and I found out that he was up for an award. An award that I could vote for online. The Nashville Scene Music Awards (Click here to vote) have Matthew Ryan up for a singer/songwriter award. I, of course, voted for him, however, there were many other artists that were up for awards. In the process of listening to the music samples of the artists up for awards in various categories there was one that really caught my ear. Just grabbed it and forced it to listen. The music was good. Really good.

Adrienne Young & Little Sadie are something special, indeed. Their music philosophy - according to their website - is that of a shared experience rather than a performance:

Adrienne Young believes that, in the past, music was more of a communal activity than it is today. "Ideally, music is something you play with people, not just for them," she says. Young and her band, Little Sadie, trust that by sharing what moves them, people who attend their performances will walk away feeling that they were part of a creative exchange.

I have listened to a couple of tracks from their website, and they are really worth your time. They hail from an Americana base with touches of gospel and bluegrass mixed in and about lovely lyrical content. You will find the best of all musical worlds here from washboard and spoons to electric guitars and mandolins.

Do yourself a favor and take a few minutes to allow this pleasure into your life. I promise it will be worth it. Check out Adrienne Young & Little Sadie's new debut album "Plow to the End of the Row"

Be good, and if you can't...
At least be good at it ;)
