NewSong Recordings was established to work hand in hand with exceptional talent that we identify within our community of artists. Our first release – Diana Jones’ highly acclaimed ‘My Remembrance of You’ – was awarded the "#1 Country Album of the Year" by the Chicago Tribune. In April, 2009 we released our second album, Solidago, from Montreal-based artist Chris Velan.     Jeff Ellis The Forgetting Place available March 23 artist website "There's a toughness about his vocals and songs that transcend artifice. He's grown into a singer and songwriter whose music has a powerful, almost visceral effect." – Larry Groce, Mountain Stage "There are moments in The Forgetting Place that almost remind me of the late, great Vic Chesnutt. But there are also songs that remind me of everyone from Springsteen to Live to Chris Thile. You have to love a record that can’t really be pinned down to one comparison." – Muruch.com     Chris Velan Solidago order artist website "Whipsmart songcraft and no-bullshit guitar rockers . . . Solidago harkens back to that Syncronicity-esque art of the album." – Blurt! magazine "Velan has no qualms about singing from the heart, andit enables him to pen some arrestingly pretty songs." – Montréal Gazette     Diana Jones My Remembrance of You order artist website "Jones just might be the best American songwriter most people have never heard of." – Chicago Tribune
