Earlier this month we posted about Alaskan singer-songwriter Melissa Mitchell participating in the Mountain Stage NewSong Contest. Her song "Ask" made Mitchell a finalist in the West region, and she'll move on to the Awards Round as the People's Choice winner, garnering the most votes on the NewSong website.

Mitchell will perform along with 11 other Awards Round songwriters at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts In New York City on Oct. 20. In the meantime, you can hear her Sunday on public radio's "Mountain Stage" or catch her play Tap Root on Oct. 12.
