New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Later this month, New
Music Seminar returns to New York City with its annual New
Music Nights Festival! Kicking off Sunday, June 21st with the Opening Night
Red Carpet Event at Webster Hall, attendees will be treated to a special headlining performance by Atlantic Records performing artist, Melanie Martinez. Martinez is best known from her stint on season 3 of The Voice, where her raspy, signature sound carried her to the top 6. Since then she's been working on original music and her wildly dramatic single, "Dollhouse," landed at the top of the Billboard charts. To add to the Opening Night excitement, guests will get a taste of some of the best up and coming acts from the Artist on The Verge Top 3 Showcase featuring Belmont Lights, Fictionist, and
Grace Weber and in the Marlin Room the rising stars;
Alessia Cara (Def Jam), Bad Veins, and Jay Stolar. The following two nights will be filled with performances from NMS' A&R Committees carefully curated Artist on the Verge (AOV) Top 100 list at iconic venues DROM, Cake Shop, The Delancey, and Pianos.
This year there will be a lottery for free wristbands for The New
Music Nights Festival. Wristband holders will have access to the Opening Night Party and official NMS music showcases throughout the Lower East Side. To apply for your FREE wristband to NMS' New
