Meet ‘Sanctuary Sessions’ performer Becca Leigh

Thursday, June 7th, 2018

 

Becca Leigh is Charleston, SC based songwriter whose songs emerge from a folk tradition rich with melody, imagery and emotion. In November, 2017, she was selected as a finalist in the 16th annual international NewSong Music Competition, and performed at the songwriter showcase at Lincoln Center in New York City. NewSong Music is proud to welcome Becca Leigh back to perform as part of the Sanctuary Sessions series, a benefit for Blue Ridge Public Radio. The songwriter will perform Saturday, June 9th at Central United Methodist Church in downtown Asheville. Max Hatt / Edda Glass share the bill.

 

Becca Leigh and Max Hatt / Edda Glass will share the stage at the Central United Methodist Church in downtown Asheville June 9th as part of NewSong Music’s Sanctuary Sessions series.

 

Becca is a self-described public radio nerd. “One of the missions of public radio is to share stories that may otherwise go unheard,” says Becca. “Many of the programs featured on public radio seek out underrepresented populations whose voices and stories are not often heard but are so important to the human experience.”

 

 

Becca Leigh will be recording her first full-length album this summer, 2018. “I’m so excited to collaborate with some of my favorite people to make the best record I can possibly make,” says the musician. “I’m here to share music, and recording is arguably the best way to do that.”

As for her performance at the Sanctuary Sessions, “I’ve heard nothing but good things about the atmosphere of the Central United Methodist Church, and I’m certain the acoustics will be perfectly suited to my songs.”

 

WHAT: Sanctuary Sessions: Max Hatt / Edda Glass and Becca Leigh

WHERE: Central United Methodist Church, 27 Church Street, downtown Asheville

Blue Yonder Releases Second Full-Length Studio Album Rough And Ready Heart Out June 8 On NewSong Recordings

Thursday, June 7th, 2018
 

Blue Yonder’s ‘Rough and Ready Heart’ is out June 8, 2018.

 
 
“A mix of virtuoso musicianship and original songwriting that plays as well in a hipster coffeehouse as it does in a small town concert hall.” –Larry Groce, Mountain Stage
 
“Blue Yonder is a serious West Virginia treasure.” –Vince Herman, Leftover Salmon
 
“An uncommon combination of toe-tapping, foot-stomping, and cry-in-your-beer fun….”—Live In Charleston WV
 
Charleston, West Virginia-based trio Blue Yonder—John Lilly (vocals/songwriter, rhythm guitar), Robert Shafer (electric guitar), and Will Carter (acoustic bass, harmony vocals)—are set to release their second full-length album, Rough and Ready Heart, on NewSong Recordings June 8. The album was recorded at Echo Mountain Recording Studios in Asheville, NC. It was produced by NewSong founder Gar Ragland .
 
The seasoned trio was joined by guest musicians Russ Hicks (pedal steel guitar) and Tony Creasman (drums/percussion) for the album, which is comprised of 12 original songs. Offering a range of Americana—honky-tonk to swing, rockabilly to bluegrass—the album’s songs range from barn-burning rockers to gentle waltzes to mournful ballads to inspirational anthems.
 

 
 
Featuring three musicians with distinctive and notable skills; award-winning songwriter John Lilly; two-time flat picking champion guitarist Robert Shafer; and bassist Will Carter, who has played with numerous bluegrass and old-time bands and is the founder of the “Clifftop” festival, an annual global summit of old-time musicians in West Virginia.
 
With universal themes about “living, loving, losing along life’s back roads and highways,” says John Lilly, the trio’s vocalist and songwriter. “Our songs tell stories that anyone who’s been in relationships or set out on a road trip can relate to, no matter where they come from.”
 
Best known for their memorable original songs, virtuoso musicianship and feel-good stage presence, every Tuesday evening since 2013, the band has given people in Charleston, WV, a venue for a soul-cleansing way to connect with themselves and each other. “The stories we tell take me out of my specific situation and connect me, through shared experiences and emotions, with everyone in the room,” offers Will Carter.
 
Of Lilly’s many songwriting styles, Robert Shafer, notes “with Blue Yonder I can stretch out more than I can with most bands.” One of few to win the prestigious Winfield Walnut Valley national flat-picking contest more than once, he is also known as a “spectacular rockabilly guitarist who also brings swing and bop influences to his playing” (Washington Post).
 
Bassist Will Carter says that for him “an evening with Blue Yonder is like telling tales around a campfire—the stories we tell take me out of my specific situation and connect me, through shared experiences and emotions, with everyone in the room.”
 
The band’s debut, Bittersweet Road, reached #2 on the Freeform American Roots radio chart in 2013.
 
BLUE YONDER TOUR DATES
July 6 – Isis Restaurant & Music Hall – Asheville, NC
July 13 – Red Wings Roots Festival – Mount Solon, VA

NewSong Music and Arts Brookfield to present ‘Southern Accents’ concert series in New York City

Monday, June 4th, 2018

Free outdoor concert series honors Tom Petty’s legacy, features curated lineup of up-and-coming songwriters

New York, NY (May 31, 2018) — Arts Brookfield and NewSong Music are proud to present the New York City summer outdoor concert series ‘Southern Accents: New original music inspired by the songwriting legend Tom Petty.’ The series features eight, free outdoor lunchtime concerts taking place on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, June 5-27 at two prime listening locations in Manhattan: One New York Plaza and Grace Plaza. The lineup features some of North America’s best up-and-coming acts playing original music inspired by the well-loved troubadour Tom Petty.

“NewSong is delighted to be partnering once again with Arts Brookfield to co-present and curate this summer’s ‘Southern Accents’ Series in New York City,” says NewSong music founder Gar Ragland. “The opportunity to invite this group of talented songwriters and performers to celebrate – through their own original material –  the enduring legacy of the late, great Tom Petty is something we’re honored and excited to help bring to life with our friends at Arts Brookfield.”

All of the performers featured in the ‘Southern Accents’ series are members of the NewSong artist community, and each musician will perform two shows: one at One New York Plaza in Manhattan’s financial district and the other at Grace Plaza, located steps from Bryant Park in midtown. These songwriters are a far cry from a Tom Petty cover band. Instead, all four acts share the common goal of celebrating the spirit of Tom Petty through original songwriting. Like Petty, musical stylings among the featured musicians draw from folk traditions, blues, rock and country.

All One New York Plaza shows take place on Tuesdays, 12:30-1:30 pm. All Grace Plaza shows take place on Wednesdays, 12:30-1:30 pm. See below for full schedule and lineup. Click show date for Facebook event.

Michaela Anne (Nashville, TN)

Upon releasing her 2014 album, Ease My Mind (Kingswood Records), singer-songwriter Michaela Anne garnered considerable acclaim for her introspective songwriting.

Since then, however, this once-solitary diarist has transformed herself into a gregarious storyteller. Michaela Anne has discovered her inner extrovert. michaelaanne.com

Carly Taich wins the fifth annual LEAF Festival Singer-Songwriter Competition, presented by NewSong Music

Monday, May 14th, 2018
 

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ASHEVILLE, N.C. — Folk-pop artist Carly Taich has been named the winner of the fifth annual LEAF Festival Singer-Songwriter Competition, presented by NewSong Music. Taich – who along with seven other finalist singer-songwriter solo and duo acts – was selected from more than 500 entries to this year’s contest. The finalists performed at LEAF Saturday, May 12, in front of the packed Barn venue and judges Gar Ragland, music producer and founder of NewSong Music; Alli Marshall, arts editor at Mountain Xpress; and Jeff Santiago, a local musician and operations manager at the Orange Peel.

2018 LEAF Contest winner Carly Taich, performing with accompanist/violinist Alex Travers on Saturday, May 12 in the Barn at the 46th LEAF Festival in Black Mountain, NC.

 

 

Other finalists were Alexa Rose from Asheville, NC; Randy Steele from Chattanooga, TN; My One and Only from Nashville, TN; Lee Jean Jr. from Raefield, NC; Joe Shields from Northern Michigan; and Leon + the Fantastic from San Mateo, CA. Taich, My One and Only and Alexa Rose were the three songwriters selected to move on to the second and final round.

Taich will release a new single this summer, the first release since her October 2017 album titled Reverie. Her music video for her song “Give Me a Likeness” recently won “Best Soundtrack” at the Music Video Asheville awards show. She, along with her band, will perform at Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival this June.

 

 

Of her time spent at the LEAF Singer-Songwriter Competition, Taich says, “The LEAF/NewSong Competition was awesome. From start to finish, a great experience. I loved their emphasis on it being a celebration of songwriting rather than a cut-throat competition.”

Taich says she played mostly new songs at the competition, as opposed to what she calls “the more tried and true stuff.” This made the win that much sweeter, says the songwriter. “This really affirmed the direction I’m going with my writing,” says Taich. “I have so much respect for the judges and admire their work, so that makes the win all the more rewarding. I’m so grateful to NewSong, LEAF, and my good friend Alex Travers for accompanying me on violin and adding greater depth to my songs. I am still pinching myself that I get to perform at the fall LEAF later this year!”

“We had an outstanding pool of finalists this year for the 5th annual LEAF Competition,” says NewSong founder and producer Ragland. “I’m always amazed at the caliber of songwriting and performances each year, and this year was certainly no exception.”

“The caliber of musicianship was so high, and the creativity really on-point.” says judge Alli Marshall. “Each artist managed to channel themes and sounds from the American songbook while bringing something truly authentic to the stage. From roots-country to radio-ready pop, it was a thrilling showcase.”

Adding to that, judge Jeff Santiago, an accomplished songwriter and performer himself, says “Choosing this year’s winner was quite difficult. I felt Carly made bold choices in her writing, as well as the selection of songs she presented.”

As the winner of the LEAF Singer-Songwriter Competition, Taich will receive a paid, featured performance at the fall 2018 LEAF Festival (October 18-21, in Black Mountain, NC), including lodging and accommodations. She’ll also receive an opening performance at Asheville’s the Grey Eagle music venue on Thursday, October 18, for artist Eileen Jewell, and a featured performance on Wednesday, October 17, in the Lounge at Asheville’s Isis Music Hall.

Taich also advances as a finalist in the 17th annual, international NewSong Showcase and Competition, held later this year. The grand-prize winner of that contest will be awarded the opportunity to make a six-song EP, recorded and mixed at Echo Mountain Recording Studios in Asheville and released on the NewSong Recordings label; and a performance showcase at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival’s coveted ASCAP Music Café. The 2018 NewSong Music Contest is now accepting entries.

Meet LEAF Contest Finalist: Carly Taich

Thursday, May 10th, 2018

Carly Taich is an Asheville, NC-based songwriter whose songs are at once soft and intense, fantastical and real. Her performances boast orchestral-rock arrangements paired with swooning vocals. Add in her her witty and irreverent writing style, and it’s no wonder Carly has steadily gained recognition in Asheville and beyond.

Taich will release a brand new single this summer, the first release since her October 2017 album titled Reverie. Her music video for her song “Give Me a Likeness” recently won “Best Soundtrack” at the Music Video Asheville awards show.  To top it off, she, along with her powerhouse band, will perform at Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival this June.

We asked Carly some questions to learn more about her artistic process and vision. See her perform at NewSong’s LEAF Singer-Songwriter Competition Saturday May 12. 

What is your songwriting process like?

I write with my guitar. Usually the melody and lyrics come out together and inform each other. It’s nice to have no idea where your song is going and let each line unfold all together. Completely on the contrary, lately, I’ve been inspired by the more structured and repetitive verses of old hymns and folk tunes, and in that case, I may approach the lyrics more like a puzzle, trying to squeeze the most accurate picture into just a few syllables. Paper is my best friend.

Where do you find inspiration? Do you have any songwriting heroes?

Growing up I was exposed to songwriters from every generation and recall a lot of Cat Stevens, the Beatles and the Andrew Sisters, among so many others. On my own I ventured into Tori Amos and Elliott Smith, which was my first exploration into more alternative songwriting. I also loved musical theater and am still very inspired by the big song productions of old musicals.

What does it mean to you to be selected as a NewSong finalist, and what do you hope to get out of the experience?

It’s an honor to be considered among such wonderful songwriters. I hope to make some new friends who I can collaborate or share the stage with again, perhaps at a future LEAF. It’s a great opportunity to get to connect with other artists from around the country through an event like the NewSong competition.

What would you like your audience to know about you and your music?

I just try to be as honest as possible in my own language. Songwriting has always been the most natural way for me to express the deep complexities of life. I’m grateful that I get to share my stories with those will listen!

Meet LEAF Contest Finalist: My One And Only

Tuesday, May 8th, 2018
My One And Only is an Americana duo comprised of married couple Kassie and Benjamin Wilson. Their music can be described as “Southern soul mixed with curious grittiness” and their talent has been shared across the country, from intimate house concerts to the legendary Ryman Auditorium in their hometown of Nashville. 
 
My One And Only will record their debut EP in late May with producer Andrija Tokic (Alabama Shakes “Boys and Girls”) in Nashville. “You can expect reckless meanderings about loud people, some thoughts about our parents’ age, and some cries for Divine mercy,” says Benjamin. The album is due for release mid-2018. 
 
We asked My One and Only some questions to learn more about their songwriting process and vision. 

My One And Only will perform at NewSong’s LEAF Singer-Songwriter Competition Saturday May 12.

 

What is your songwriting process like? 

Kassie and I consciously make time to songwrite each week. In a lot of cases, we find that inspiration follows action. Since there are two of us, our songs are put through two filters, which brings about a unique blend of style and point-of-view. We always try to come from a fresh perspective, and to have something in our songs that the listener can really grab ahold of, whether that be a sweet harmony or a slightly off-kilter lyric.
 

Where do you find inspiration? Do you have any songwriter heroes? 

Together, we have been inspired by (and loved) old country songs written by the likes of Kris Kristofferson and Hank Williams, Sr. Also, John Prine and Lori McKenna have been songwriters we’ve looked up to. Adam Duritz of Counting Crows was very influential to me growing up, and Lionel Richie was frequently on the record player as Kassie was growing up.
 

What does it mean to you to be selected as a NewSong finalist, and what do you hope to get out of the experience? 

We were so excited to be chosen as a NewSong finalist. Of the many entries into this competition that seeks out the best songwriting, to be picked out is reaffirming and encouraging. Most of all, we are looking forward to just being a part of the LEAF Festival as performing NewSong finalists. This will be an incredible opportunity to put our art in front of people, and also to be a part of a community that has the same mind as us. 
 

What would you like your audience to know about you and your music? 

Music is powerful! Combining the emotions that notes and melodies can bring with the transfer of thoughts in lyrics is a dynamite recipe. We hope that, in our music, you can feel what we feel and learn what we have learned. We hope that it connects with you on some level, that it feels natural and sweet. We hope that it feels like home. And if it does, then hang with us for a while! We can walk this journey together.

Meet LEAF Contest Finalist: Joe Shields

Monday, May 7th, 2018

Joe Shields, also known as Cousin Joe Twoshacks, is an award-winning cartoonist-turned-songwriter from Michigan. A decade ago, at the age of 47, Joe attended a songwriter’s retreat and has been writing his heartfelt and original songs ever since.

Late start or not, Shields has made his mark on the folk scene. He is a past winner of the prestigious Kerrville New Folk competition in Kerrville, Texas and recently recorded a new album in Austin, Texas, produced by legendary singer-songwriter and producer Gurf Morlix.

We asked Joe some questions to learn more about his artistic process and vision.

Michigan-based singer-songwriter Joe Shields will perform at LEAF for NewSong’s 5th annual Singer-Songwriter Competition.

What is your songwriting process like?

My process 90 percent of the time comes from finding chords or a rhythm that feel interesting. I noodle with that, and words just seem to come. Other times a line will fall out of my head and bounce on the table, so I try to follow it.

Do you have any songwriting heroes?

My favorite artists were and still are Neil Young, Muddy Waters, and Iggy Pop way back in the day. In the last few years, I’ve made a lot of friends whose music I just love!

 

 

 

What does it mean to you to be selected as a NewSong finalist, and what do you hope to get out of the experience?

I’m a 57-year-old artist. This is an adventure for me. I love the music, the writing and the crazy creatives I get to meet and hang out with. It’s a great honor to be selected, and I’m thrilled to be included.

What would you like your audience to know about you and your music?

I’m a delicate flower that just wants to be loved. Take me home. Plant me in your yard. I have my own tent. I only require fresh cold beer and three meals a day. Just like prison had. My music sounds like all that.

2016 NewSong grand prize winner Wilder Adkins releases peace anthem “Side By Side” on MLK Jr. Day

Monday, January 16th, 2017

SideBySide-WilderAdkins-NewSongMusic.jpg

2016 NewSong grand prize winner Wilder Adkins releases peace anthem “Side By Side” on MLK Jr. Day

“This is a song about the city of Birmingham, Alabama and the struggles of the civil rights movement in the 1960s,” says Adkins, a Birmingham resident himself. “It is also an anthem for peace and a call to keep hoping and never give up fighting darkness with the power of light.”

ABOUT WILDER ADKINS
Wilder Adkins15698210_881465828570_6907624843770016758_n songwriting gleans as much from the earthy poetry of Wendell Berry and Mary Oliver as it does from the works of folk luminaries Richard Thompson and Bruce Cockburn. His courtly-but-witty lyrics evoke a Deep South Shelley or Yeats, riding a joyful guitar dexterity.

Adkins hails from Marietta, GA, but now lives and writes in Birmingham, AL. He grew up listening to his dad play renditions of Neil Young and Van Morrison songs on an old Guild Jumbo Acoustic. Adkins’ songs, steeped in natural imagery, frequently touch upon the subjects of faith, doubt, and as the title of his new album would indicate, hope and sorrow.

Adkins is the grand prize winner of the 2016 international NewSong Music Performance & Songwriting Competition.

Three Questions with Jomo Edwards (of Jomo & The Possum Posse)

Tuesday, December 6th, 2016

Three Questions with Jomo Edwards (of Jomo & The Possum Posse)

JomoPossumPosse

Jomo Edwards is a roots-loving, Austin, Texas-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. He is perhaps best known for his viral video series, “Guy On A Buffalo,” in which he wrote and overdubbed a new soundtrack for the film, Buffalo Rider. The irreverent wit and sardonic sense of humor apparent in the video series is just as pronounced in his songwriting.

Edwards often performs with his band, Possum Posse. The band’s latest record, Local Motive skews heavily toward roots rock & roll and old-school country. With song titles like “Farts Ain’t Funny” and “The Real Housewives of the West of Us,” you can bet that this songwriter has his own, singularly entertaining take on the classic genres.

We took the time to ask Edwards about his songwriting inspiration, career news and his hopes for the NewSong competition.

What is your songwriting process like, and where do you find inspiration?

I do my best work when given a deadline or assignment. I don’t usually spend weeks or months writing a song. I usually write my best songs in one sitting. Then, I begin playing them on an instrument, and don’t look back at the words I’ve written down, which usually allows me to develop more organic-sounding lyrics.

A few years ago, I also started attending a songwriting circle where an assignment was given each week. I was immediately hooked, and I have ended up writing a large number of songs from that group.

What does it mean to you to be a NewSong finalist, and what do you hope to gain from the experience?

For me, it means I’m not 100 percent crazy. I really believe in what I’m doing as a songwriter, but sometimes it can feel like there’s nobody else out there who understands and/or appreciates it.

What music news do you have to share with fans?

Earlier this year, my band, The Possum Posse, released a self-produced album called Local Motive. I’m pretty proud of it, and I think it captures the energy of our live shows. We’ve been playing most of the songs on that album live for a couple of years, so they organically developed their own arrangements. When we got into the studio, we were able to just play them the way we’d done many times before, and we were able to track most of the songs live.

To learn more about Jomo Edwards, visit thepossumposse.com and follow his band Jomo & The Possum Posse on Facebook.
