The only event of its kind in the Midwest, it will bring 30 of the finest fingerstyle guitar players from the United States and Europe to compete at the Brown County Playhouse on Saturday July 28.
The Brown County community was chosen for the competition because of its rich history as an artist colony, home to many accomplished acoustic musicians.
Artists will compete for a handcrafted Thomas Roeger guitar valued at $ 5,500, and the opportunity to play during an evening concert that will feature world-renowned artists Tim and Myles Thompson, and Jack Wilson. The top three competitors will perform during the evening show.
