Deanie has been a fiddler in Nashville and all over the world for the past 35 years. Her employers have included Patty Loveless, Vince Gill, the world renown Chieftains, Holly Dunn, and recently she had the honor of going out on Bob Seger's U.S tour. When she is not on the road she is teaching students of all ages, to play fiddle, mandolin, and guitar. Deanie grew up backstage at the Grand Ole Opry with the likes of Howdy Forrester, Roy Acuff and many of the bluegrass and country music greats. She continues to work there on rotation as house band fiddler.
She is currently the fiddler for Sister Sadie, labeled by critics as the " newest bluegrass supergroup". The band features the Grammy-nominated Dale Ann Bradley, who is a five-time award-winning female vocalist of the year for the International Bluegrass Music Association.

Making her debut appearance on the Grand Ole Opry at the tender age of 13, Deanie Richardson took the stage and never looked back. Raised just outside of Nashville in the small town of Kingston Springs, Deanie grew up in a musical family. With both of her grandfathers and her daddy playing music, it was just natural for Deanie to want to play along. At the age of nine, she picked up the fiddle and the rest is history. Once the bow touches the strings of her Collin-Mezin you understand why she is known as one of country and bluegrass music’s most revered fiddle players. She can play anything from upbeat, fast-paced bluegrass tunes to lonesome, tear-jerking country melodies. This is not an easy feat. As Vince Gill was quoted saying about Deanie, "Sometimes great country fiddlers aren’t great bluegrass fiddlers and vice-versa, but she encompasses those styles. She knows the difference and plays the difference." No doubt that part of that can be attributed to the fact that Deanie studied for three years at the Blair School of Music with Craig Duncan.

In January , Glide Magazine journalist Trevor Christian tells readers that Deanie, in discussing her album, Love Hard. Work Hard. Play Hard, told him, &#;one of my passions is old country music. I grew up around the Grand Ole Opry and I was always going backstage there when I was a kid. That is a true passion of mine, and I wanted a good countr
Deanie Richardson, &#;Soppin&#; the Gravy&#;
Nashville often feels like a town simply saturated by fiddlers. It is Music City USA, after all, and of that music, most is centered on the pop country machine, which thankfully still sees fiddles as prerequisites for most of the music being fashioned, manicured, produced, and cranked out by this city writ large. In and amongst the myriad fiddles and bows it takes a singular musical voice to stand out.
Deanie Richardson has just such a voice. Her fiddlin’ is just as fiery and unyielding as any other fiddler on the scene, but without ever being overbearing or cliche. She balances Texas influences and contest styles with her immaculate bluegrass chops &#; and that balance makes her the perfect shoulder to tap for all manner gigs, from house fiddler at the Grand Ole Opry, to touring with Vince Gill or Patty Loveless, or decidedly less normative-country acts like the Chieftains and Bob Seger.
Her anchor though, has always been bluegrass, and when she isn’t out cutting up and bringing slap-happy joy to the people with her currently Grammy-nominated ensemble, Sister Sadie, she’s making bluegrass/fiddle records like Love Hard, Work Har
