In celebration of its 24th anniversary, the NewSong Music Performance Songwriting Competition โ€” presented by Citizen Vinyl โ€” will welcome eight finalists from across North America to Asheville for an evening of songs and connection The event takes place at The Grey Eagle on Thursday, December 11. The internationally recognized event, previously held at the prestigious Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York City, has since found a home in the mountains of Western North Carolina.
The finalists (TBA in early October), selected from advance online submissions, will bring their musical chops to Asheville to perform, compete, and connect with one another. A panel of music industry judges will select one grand prize winner who will receive a fully funded six-song EP, recorded and mixed at Citizen Studios, and a music vinyl package pressed at Citizen Vinyl.
Citizen Vinyl, established by NewSong Music director and co-founder Gar Ragland, is North Carolinaโ€™s first vinyl pressing facility, and boasts a variety of amenities including a full-scale recording studio, high quality vinyl pressing and cassette duplication, direct-to-customer fulfillment, and more.
Now in its 24th year, the NewSong Music Performance Songwriting Competition is one of North Americaโ€™s premier showcases of emerging performers and songwriters today. This crowd-sourced effort seeks to identify the truly exceptional artists within our communities and to work closely with them to develop their careers and introduce their music to a broader, international audience while building a supportive community of performers and songwriters across all genres of music and levels of skill.
