BIO

Andrea Young

Singer Songwriter Violinist

Andrea Young has been sharing her gift of song since beginning classical violin at the age of two. Even though she was raised for a symphonic career, she loved the freedom of improvisational violin. With that and a passion for singing and songwriting, she's found her true home in Nashville.

The small town Alton, Illinois girl got her start by "accidentally" joining a country cover band as a teenager. Soon after, she was playing with original artists throughout the midwest and Texas. After she was discovered at an artist showcase, she began working as a solo act with acclaimed producer D. Scott Miller (Bo Bice, Craig Morgan, actor John Corbett etc.). Her recordings feature her as a triple-threat; singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist.

She has toured and played on sessions thoughout the U.S and Europe that span from progressive rock... to spanish pop...to country...and almost everything in between. In 2008, she went out Tim McGraw's "Live Your Voice Tour" with opening act Halfway to Hazard, and played with Sixwire on Season 1 of CMT's hit "Can You Duet." She has played shows with some of today's most exciting acts, including; "One Tree Hill" actress Jana Kramer, American Idol's Bo Bice, rock and roll guitar slinger Kenny Olson (of Kid Rock), Jerrod Niemann, Lady Antebellum, and George McCorkle (of the Marshall Tucker Band).

After spending 3 years in artist projects with American Idol semi-finalists, Andrea was ready to spread her wings and focus on her solo career. She will be hitting the studio and road in 2012. She continues to write with some of Nashville's hit-makers, perform on sessions and tours out of Nashville, and teach violin across the country. Look for her performance at the 2011 Breeders' Cup World Championship opening ceremonies in front of 50,000 fans and millions of television viewers.

Regardless of the music Andrea is making, she is a one of a kind artist. Her sound is truly unique, her work ethic inspiring, and her talents immeasurable. She has been blessed to learn from some of the very best. This beautiful young lady is destined to leave her mark on country music.

As Per the Breeders' Cup World Championship Performance:

"Andrea's violin accompaniment meshed with the vocals perfectly and provided an emotional back-drop that clearly resonated with the fans at the historic, 138 year old grandstands of Churchill Downs. The result was a one of a kind, remarkable performance..."

-The Art of the Game

"The charming Andrea Young, took to the stage playing the fiddle and singing, uninhibited, radiant and expressive. Andrea played so well, that she had no problem getting the crowd out of their seats and dancing in the aisle.

After Andrea's performance, we had a chance to meet, although it was just for a moment, her genuine altruistic personality made the encounter unforgettable."

-Southern Fried Magazine

"Andrea Young is a fiddler on fire and she burns with a light and warmth all her own in everything from Bluegrass to Bach. She is also a consummate professional with a modesty, grace, and personality rare in someone so young. Commitment and responsibility are her hallmarks whether on stage breaking fire codes or teaching 9-year-olds how to bow. She is my favorite fiddler...all of this and not hard to look at either!" -Tom Sudholt KFUO Classic99 Radio

"For the past 2 years os so it has been a pleasure to know [Andrea] as a friend and musician. I enjoy her style and I am always listening to her music. Always my very best to her with respect and music love."

-Chuck Rainey, bassist extraordinaire

She is the prettiest, little fiddle player I've ever seen. But don't let that fool you. She''l turn it loose and leave you with your jaw hanging open.

-George McCorkle, Marshall Tucker Band

"Andrea Young is beautiful and plays the violin with ferocious finesse." -Richard Green KDHX St. Louis

"Then something I would love to hear more of: violin! The female violin player (Andrea Young) was not only a visual attraction to the eye, her playing is an essential part of the band's sound: slightly agressive at times, in Kansas style." -Jerry Van Kooten Concert Review

"Andrea Young's fiddling is a highlight of the show." -St. Louis Post Dispatch

She (Andrea Young) walks out on stage looking like an angel, but as soon as the violin hits her shoulder, she plays like the devil." -German Press

"Andrea Young is an amazing talent. To watch her play is truly mesmerizing." -Laynie Bryant CITY TV 10
