NewSong - 'Where Great Artists Are Discovered'

Performing songwriters, start your songs. The Mountain Stage NewSong Contest is one of the nation’s premier showcases for singer-songwriters in all genres of music. A total of 12 finalists are selected to perform in the international contest finals, held in Charleston, West Viriginia's Cultural Center theater – the home venue of the internationally broadcast Mountain Stage radio and television show. All finalists attend the Mountain Stage show in Charleston, where one of the contest's five co-winners becomes a featured performer of the show. Co-winners and other contest standouts will also be invited to participate in future NewSong productions in locations throughout the country, and will be candidates for future releases on the NewSong Recordings label. Non-winning contestants will also be considered for future “Mountain Stage” appearances.

The twelve finalists are selected as follows:
-One from each of the six (6) regional rounds
-Six from the general round – open to anyone, anywhere on the planet. Two of these six spots are reserved for those who submit before the Early Bird Deadline

THE 2009 MOUNTAIN STAGE NEWSONG CONTEST IS NO LONGER ACCEPTING ENTRIES. CONGRATULATIONS TO THE 2009 MOUNTAIN STAGE NEWSONG CONTEST CO-WINNERS!

NEWSONG RECORDINGS

...is an innovative new record label created to showcase truly exceptional independent recordings by truly exceptional emerging artists.




Operated in partnership with the Mountain Stage NewSong Contest and the NewSong Academy, the mission of the label is to identify talented artists whom we discover through our events and community, and to then work closely with them to advance their career through the release of their records.

Our debut 2006 release is by Diana Jones (a former Mountain Stage NewSong Contest standout), entitled My Remembrance of You. It's full of timeless, original songs crafted from inspiration drawn deeply from the old-time well. The Chicago Tribune awarded it the 1 Country Album of the Year for 2006, and it has been included in nearly 20 'Best Of 2006' lists in the United States, the UK and Europe.

In time, NewSong Recordings aims to develop a portfolio of releases from artists who represent the diversity of genres we celebrate at NewSong, and that our partners at Mountain Stage have been celebrating for 25 years.

—Gar Ragland
NewSong Director


"Jones is on the verge of a critical breakthrough. Increasingly compared to the likes of Iris DeMent and Gillian Welch, Jones just might be the best American songwriter most people have never heard of."

—Chrissie Dickinson, Chicago Tribune

Claire and I have returned from our 3 months EU& UK tour. So, I just posted a note about what's going on with The Bowmans on facebook... and then I started writing a mass email... and then I decided against it... so I'm doing this instead.
