The American Song Contest Week 4 Performers Will Have You Dancing

The battle for Best Original Song continues.

By Christopher Rosa

The first round of American Song Contest continues tonight (April 11) with 11 new Artists performing their original songs. By now, you know the conceit of the show: Fifty-six Acts, each representing either a U.S. state, territory, or Washington, D.C., are competing head-to-head with their own songs. The winner will be determined over the course of several rounds by votes from both viewers and a Jury of music industry experts. So far, we've seen 34 Artists compete, and this week, viewers will watch 11 more. Get to know them a little better, below.
