Brinley Addington

Born and raised in Kingsport, Tennessee, Brinley Addington’s passion for Country music began well before the small town singer can even remember. At age three, Brinley began climbing on top of his parent’s coffee table pretending he was performing at the historic Grand Ole Opry. Brinley was influenced early on by the hymns he heard on Sunday morning and the traditional Country voices of Randy Travis, Vince Gill, and Alan Jackson.

As time went by, Brinley gained inspiration from modern Country artists like Garth Brooks and Tim McGraw as well as his parents’ love of bluegrass music and artists such as Ricky Skaggs, Ralph Stanley, and Alison Krauss. In the fourth grade, Brinley’s music teacher encouraged a reluctant little boy to enter the school talent show where he performed in front of a crowd for the very first time. At age 12, Brinley began singing at the Church he had attended since childhood and where he realized, what he feels to be, God's plan for his life: making music.

Brinley has served as opening act for numerous touring artists including Chris Young, Josh Turner, The Band Perry, Justin Moore, Florida-Georgia Line, Eli Young Band, Thompson Square, Marty Stuart, John Michael Montgomery, Charlie Worsham, Eric Paslay, Lauren Alaina, Tyler Farr, Gavin DeGraw, Relient K, along with Texas favorites Jack Ingram, Roger Creager and the Casey Donahew Band. Brinley was also a featured performer on the Blake Shelton and Friends Cruise in October of 2012.

Brinley is a signed songwriter at Razor & Tie Music Publishing's Nashville office and is currently developing his performing and songwriting skills as he strives to write and record Country music that honors the traditions established by his musical heroes and speaks to his generation.
