LEVI McGRATH AWARDED TOP HONOURS IN INTERNATIONAL SONG COMPETITION!

(Friday 10 June 2011 - Melbourne, Australia) Small House Records today announced that 'Reunion Song' from Levi McGrath's acclaimed sophomore release 'Children of War' (Small House Records 2010) claimed second prize, with the title track 'Children of War' also making the top five in the folk category.

'I'm so excited and sincerely blown away to win this award," said McGrath. "This is a major achievement for me as a songwriter and I'm looking forward to the new opportunities for my music around the world. I'm moved that a song demonstrating the hope that exists amidst war in Northern Uganda can receive such great recognition!'

The Indie International Songwriting Contest is a US-based annual songwriting competition that exists to give recognition to some of the best emerging songwriters in the world, help develop their talent, and provide tools for developing the success of the winning artists.

Levi McGrath competed against hundreds of other songwriters from around the world, and according to the judges, all of them top music industry professionals, it was his winning combination of poignant and powerful lyrics, strong melodies and arrangements and the powerful recording that convinced them the song was truly special.
