Congratulations to this year’s ‘Early Bird’ finalists Middle Child and Market Junction.

We’re excited to announce the two ‘Early Bird’ finalists in this year’s 15th annual NewSong Music Performance & Songwriting Competition, awarded to the bands Middle Child (Roxbury, MA) and Market Junction (Houston, TX). Learn more about each group below!

Middle Child was conceived by musicians and songwriters Austin Max (Nashville) and Danny Silberstein (Los Angeles), who met at Berklee College of Music in 2013 and were soon joined by fellow musician/songwriter Terrell Hines (Dublin, Georgia).

Market Junction is an Americana group founded in 2011 by singer-songwriters Matt Parrish and Justin Lofton. 

They’ll be joining us on Saturday, December 10 to showcase and compete in the live performance finals at New York City’s Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.
