Adie moved to Nashville in 1989 to pursue songwriting full time."This town is very supportive of people working on their own music, whatever the style, and a lot of the music that inspires me like blues and gospel, bluegrass and folk, comes from the south originally, so it only made sense to move here.
It's been a lot of fun so far; I've been on recording projects with Pam Tillis and Martina McBride and I've been able to get great people like Jo-El Sonnier, John Hartford and Wynonna Judd to come play on my records. Nashville is a town that's also full of people most folks have never heard of, but who are really as good as any musicians in the world, so you can't help but get better at playing music if you live here."
Since 1994, Adie has released 2 critically acclaimed albums; Brand New Old Time Music, which Sing Out said, "...sounds like few (if any) other singer-songwriter recordings, with it's refreshing old-fashioned approach, entertaining songs, and high quality musicianship" and Grandpa's Advice (which spent a summer on the Gavin Americana top 40 charts and was issued in the UK on Demon Records) were both co-produced with husband Dave MacKenzie for Hey Baby! Records.
"As for the future, who knows? In addition to my songwriting and various other musical activities, I've also been the coordinator for the Blues in the Schools program here in Nashville and have done a lot of community-oriented volunteer work, so I haven't had much time to spend on the road lately. I've got a feeling that's about to change, though, when I get my new record out. I'm very excited about it; I've got a lot of new songs that I'm really proud of. The overall sound is going to stay acoustic but I'm going to vary the rhythm sections and throw in one or two styles that I haven't had a chance to record before. This time, for example, I couldn't come up with a good Irish drinking song, so I'm going to include a jazz samba instead."
