The dates for 2007 have yet to be announced. Information
below is from last year's (2006) fifth annual festival. Stay tuned.

The Fifth Annual Mountain Stage NewSong
Festival (2006 info)!
We’re delighted to return to Shepherdstown once again this
year for the fifth annual Mountain Stage NewSong Festival. And
the folks in Shepherdstown are looking forward to hosting us and
supporting our music!
The dates for this year's festival are Friday, August 25 - Sunday,
August 27. You
may order tickets online by clicking here.
Once again the Festival will host the live round and national
finals of this year’s Mountain Stage NewSong Contest.
The live round will take place on Saturday, August 26 in venues
in downtown Shepherdstown. The national finals of this year’s
contest will take place that evening, also at the Frank Center.
There, national finalist from across the nation will compete for
a chance to perform on an internationally broadcast Mountain Stage
Show.
There will also be open mics, the popular Blue Cardinal Café,
and numerous impromptu opportunities to perform across town and
around campfires.
On Sunday, August 27 our ‘NewSong In the Park’ returns
once again to Morgan’s Grove Park. The stage will feature
numerous showcases throughout the day, including songwriting org
showcases (BSA, SAW, Tribes Hill, etc) and feature performances
of some of last year’s contest winners (Meg Hutchinson, KJ
Denhert, Clinton Collins, etc). There will also be at least a few
surprise appearances from some NewSong favorites!
The Importance of Community
Without the participation and partnership that comes from songwriting
organizations, NewSong wouldn’t exist as the strong community
of artists and fans that it is. NewSong depends on its partners
in order to achieve its mission of truly being a community of communities.
We hope you’ll continue to help make NewSong a success by
encouraging as much participation from your members as possible.
This includes not only enrolling in the Academy, or registering
for the live round of the contest, but also volunteering to work
hand in hand with us to produce the most memorable and enjoyable
event as possible.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us with questions or suggestions.
