2017 - Adam Wright of Goodlettsville, TN placed third in this contest. He placed first in 2001. This CT Tech Radiologist said he first came to Winfield in 1992 and began competing in 1994. He attends other festivals such as MerleFest and Rockygrass and he loves coming to Winfield to meet new friends and pick. Adam’s comment was, “Only the best musicians come here.” His hobbies are playing music and he is now into building and repairing guitars. Maybe one day one of the prizes at the Walnut Valley Festival will be a guitar made by Adam Wright. He won the 3rd Place Trophy and a Gallagher G-55 Special Guitar by J.W. Gallagher and Son of Wartrace, TN.
