Press release from NewSong:
Max Hatt / Edda Glass, Jazz-Americana duo, will take a break from recording their grand prize album at Asheville’s Echo Mountain Studios to perform a live studio webcast concert this evening, Friday, April 10th, at 9 PM EDT. To be released later this year by NewSong Recordings, the album is being produced by Pat Sansone of Wilco and the Autumn Defense.
Max Hatt / Edda Glass were chosen for the recording session from the international Mountain Stage / NewSong Contest, held at Lincoln Center in New York City, where they were awarded the grand prize by judges from NewSong, ASCAP, Lincoln Center, and the producers of the upcoming LP.
“I was mesmerized by the music of Max Hatt / Edda Glass from the first moment I heard them,” says the album’s producer Pat Sansone. “They have the ability to create a deep sonic landscape […] with songs that possess a mysterious and soulful magic. I’m more than excited to be working with them.”
“Max Hatt/Edda Glass often defied categorization,” said Gar Ragland, NewSong’s director and the album’s executive producer, calling them “arguably the most distinctive finalist act – let alone winner – we’ve ever had in the program’s thirteen year history.” In conjunction with the album’s forthcoming release, Max Hatt / Edda Glass will play on NPR’s Mountain Stage and at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York City.
