NPR’s Mountain Stage Radio Show hosts an annual songwriting and performing artist competition internationally, and this year two of Denver and Boulder’s own are among the ranks. Of ten Southwest Regional Finalists chosen, Denver’s Katey Laurel and Boulder’s Kyle James Hauser are two. One songwriter will be chosen from each region for a total of 12 finalist to compete at New York City’s Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts November 15, 2014 for the grand prize, an EP produced by Wilco’s Pat Sansone in Asheville, NC, a performance on NPR’s Mountain Stage and a performance at Sundance Film Festival. Voting for the People’s Choice award is now open and results will be tallied by October 6.
