The Music of

Nicole Young

I’m a vocal performer and fiddle player with two country/bluegrass bands based in Garden, Michigan.

My Music Trivia

I got my start playing classical violin in fifth grade.

In ninth grade, I was so shy at the try-outs for the musical My Fair Lady, I didn’t even make it into the chorus. I did makeup instead!

Determined never to miss another musical, I joined the high school choir and then tried out for the Choral in 10^th grade - and made it!

In 11^th grade, I starred as Anna in The King and I.

During my college years, I dropped violin in favor of singing.

During my child bearing years, I dropped everything in favor of babies – four of them!

I picked my instrument back up in time to play a rusty rendition of Amazing Grace at my grandmother’s funeral.

Years later, the pastor’s wife recruited me for her bluegrass/gospel group, The Country Roses. I had to rethink everything I’d learned about the violin, but can now play by ear and sing harmony (not at the same time).
