SONGS OF THE SUSQUEHANNA: VOLUME 5 NOW OPEN FOR SUBMISSIONS; PUBLIC ENCOURAGED TO VOTE ON GREATEST HITS FROM PAST YEARS
or .wav version to midsusriver@gmail.com . Any lyrics must be copy and pasted into the body of the email or in an attached Microsoft Word document. Submissions are due by January 31, 2025. Starting Feb. 1 through Feb. 28, 2025, we will share the new submissions we have received for online feedback and use that feedback to help us select which new songs will be included in the final Volume 5 album. To help us prepare for this special Greatest Hits com- pilation, you can start listening to songs already on the previous four Songs of the Susquehanna projects and let us know which ones you’d personally select as your “Greatest Hits” so far in this effort. It is our goal to put out a Volume 5 product that is the perfect combination of different song options and genres and musicians that represent this project over the past five years ... including some of our new submissions.
Each year, we encourage people to submit original songs inspired by the river, its tributaries, and the ecosystem that depends on it for our annual Songs of the Susque- hanna project. Now in its fifth year, the project was developed as a way to raise awareness about all facets of the river and the watershed it sustains while offering an additional plat- form for our region’s extremely talented musicians to share their craft. It has evolved into a way for people of all skill levels to express their love of the Susquehanna, its history and our need to protect this valuable resource and the aquatic ecosystem connected to it. We are currently accepting new songs to be considered for Volume 5 of Songs of the Susquehanna, which will double as a Greatest Hits album. New songs should be family friendly and include a reference to the Susquehan- na, one of its tributaries, attributes or creatures that call it home. They should be no more than five minutes long and artists should submit no more than two original songs each. Submissions can be either entirely instrumental or have lyrics. Songs should be emailed ideally either in .mp3
