NewSong Recordings is an innovative new record label created to showcase truly exceptional independent recordings by truly exceptional emerging artists.

Operated in partnership with NewSong Music (producers of the Mountain Stage NewSong Contest, the NewSong Academy and performance showcases across North America), the mission of the label is to identify talented artists whom we discover through our events and music community, and to then work closely with them to advance their career through both the release of their records and development of their careers.

Our debut 2006 release is by Diana Jones (a former Mountain Stage NewSong Contest standout), entitled My Remembrance of You. It's full of timeless, original songs crafted from inspiration drawn deeply from the old-time well. The Chicago Tribune awarded it the ' #1 Country Album of the Year' for 2006, and it has been included in nearly 20 'Best  Of 2006' lists in the United States, the UK and Europe.

We're excited to announce the release of our second project from Montreal-based Chris Velan later this year. Chris is an outstanding songwriter, performer and musician, and it is our great pleasure to work with him to introduce his music to the world.

In time, NewSong Recordings aims to continue to develop a portfolio of releases from artists who represent the diversity of genres we celebrate at NewSong, and that our partners and friends at Mountain Stage have been celebrating for 25 years.
