Adam Wright - 3rd and Lindsley

Adam Wright

Adam Wright is a twice Grammy nominated songwriter, singer, producer, and musician.  His rooted, literary style, has earned him a stellar reputation among some of Nashville's most well respected artists, producers, and writers.  His songs have been recorded and performed by artists such as Alan Jackson, Lee Ann Womack, John Legend, Brandy Clark (with Randy Newman), Robert Earl Keen, Trisha Yearwood, Garth Brooks, Bruce Robison and Kelly Willis, Aubrie Sellers, Lonesome River Band, Brent Cobb, Solomon Burke and others. 

Adam has toured alongside Alan Jackson, Loretta Lynn, Robert Earl Keen, Lee Ann Womack, Patty Griffin, Raul Malo, Aubrie Sellers and more.  His studio work is featured most heavily on albums by Lee Ann Womack (The Lonely, The Lonesome and the Gone), Aubrie Sellers (New City Blues, Far From Home), The Wrights and his own releases. 

“All The Trouble”, recorded by Lee Ann Womack and written by Adam, Womack and Waylon Payne, was nominated for Best American Roots Song at the 61st Grammy Awards as well as Americana Song of the Year for the Americana Awards.  ​The song "So You Don't Have To Love​ Me Anymore", written by Wright and Jay Knowles, was recorded by Alan Jackson and nominated for “Country Song of the Year” at the 55th annual Grammy Awards.  Adam also co-produced Jackson's critically acclaimed 'The Bluegrass Album'. 

The song "Thunder and Lightning", recorded by Lonesome River Band, was nominated for “Song of the Year” at the 2016 International Bluegrass Music Association Awards.  "The Girl Who Invented The Wheel", written with his wife Shannon, was recorded by Balsam Range and nominated for IBMA Song of the Year in 2019.  Adam's work with his wife Shannon as The Wrights is still highly regarded for its songwriting, harmonies and production. 

Adam's own full length solo album 'Dust' was released in June of 2018.  The deep, dark 11 song narrative was co-produced with Wright’s long time friend and collaborator Park Chisolm.  Dust is full of characters in mostly dire situations and is delivered, vocally and musically, with the subtlety that comes from master craftsmanship.  Adam points out that one of the lessons he learned from writing with legendary songwriter Guy Clark was that “once you know how, you have to figure out why.”  ‘Dust’ is Wright’s answer to why.

In 2019, Adam simultaneously released two separate EPs; ‘Big Ideas from a Small Window Overlooking Legendary RCA Studio B (or Rodeo)’ and ‘Queen of the Meadow’. He followed with ‘I Win’, a mostly lighthearted self-recorded quarantine album that Associated Press’s Steven Wine called “a witty antidote to 2020”. His newest release, an 18 song, shadowy behemoth of characters and stories recorded in October of 2022 was produced by Frank Liddell and is scheduled to be released this year.
