Hello everyone!

This has been an exciting week for NewSong Music. Lets start with the 2009 Mountain Stage NewSong Contest:

The Early Bird finalists have official been announced, and we would like to congratulate BettySoo and David Via for being this years 2 Early Bird Finalists! Remember, if you entered the General Round and did not win one of the Early Bird slots, you are STILL IN THE RUNNING for the remaining 4 General Round spots.

Another big reminder, the Regional Rounds close TONIGHT, July 24th, at 11:59PM so if you live in Canada or the United States, get your entries in at www.sonicbids.com/newsong2009 or for a mail-in form, go to www.newsong-music.com/contest and be sure to postmark today as your entry date.

Moving right along, tonight is the last night of the NewSong summer concert series at Bryant Park featuring Milton. This is a make up date from June 24th and we really hope to see everyone out there at 6pm tonight at the Fountain Terrace in the park!

Before we let you head out to meet us at the park, we have a few NewSong Recordings things going on to report to you. Everyone in the Vancouver area, you can see Chris Velan play at the Virgin Festival (http://www.virginfestival.ca/bc/). He's on at 2pm and the line up is pretty incredible. Lastly, NewSong Recordings artist Diana Jones keeps getting continuous coverage in the media. Get to know Diana:
