You have until this Monday night at midnight (EDT) to submit your music during the discounted ‘Early Bird’ stage of the 15th Annual NewSong Music Competition. Enter this weekend – before submission prices increase – for your chance to showcase and compete at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York City this December!
With vulnerability, wit, and passion, Minnesota-based singer-songwriter Rachael Kilgour (pictured) effortlessly merges the personal and political. The 2015 NewSong Music grand prize winner releases her third full-length album, Rabbit in the Road, on September 30 on NewSong Recordings. The collection takes a vulnerable and intimate look at divorce, and the complexities of grief, resiliency, and transformation.
“Kilgour is the real deal—a modern troubadour confronting raw truths with a powerful voice and passionate, socially conscious songs that will move anyone who still believes that music can—and should—change the world.” —ASCAP Playback
To celebrate the release, Kilgour will be returning to Lincoln Center to perform on Thursday, September 8. Opening the performance is Blair Bodine, a Philadelphia native who has been racking up recent accolades for her lyrical mastery and soul-stirring melodies. Along with Kilgour, she was a finalist in 2015 NewSong Music Competition Finals.
Congratulations to Hartwell, GA’s Ethan Crump, the winner of this spring’s third annual NewSong Presents: LEAF Singer-Songwriter Competition. As the LEAF winner, Ethan will advance to join us at Lincoln Center in New York City on Saturday, December 10 to showcase and compete in this year’s international NewSong Music finals there.
