Our contestants are hard at work on their Round 1 songs. In the meantime, let's find out who they are. Here are the 47, yes, forty-seven artists and bands fighting for the title of SpinTunes 17 Champion:
Also in Blue
Also in Blue is the nom de guerre of an overeducated, under-stimulated songwriter without a serious direction, who writes what he can, when he can (usually at the expense of doing the dishes or getting a reasonable amount of sleep). His recently launched YouTube channel contains the greatest, most important work he’s ever done. He always says this about whatever his latest project is, in the hopes that it turns out to be true.
Also in Blue thanks you for giving him the opportunity to rock your socks. If you would like to support future sock rocking, please consider subscribing to his YouTube channel - at 100 subscribers, he gets a custom channel URL. Only 100 subscribers to go!

Amy Tant
Hey, it's Amy. You might know me from timeless Spintunes classics such as "Kebab Shop" (Spintunes 1) and "Living In The Countryside" (Spintunes 2). I've been away from the online songwriting competition limelight for a while, aside from stints in Donutworthy's Frankensong entries, but I think it's time for a comeback. Hopefully better than ever (or at least not worse)! Still bad at recording music and still can't do much else besides guitar and vocals, but we'll make it work somehow. Let's do this, 2021!

Resident humorists and Bon Vivants. 3 more SpinTunes and we have to count on more than our fingers and toes. Hoping we have something in the gas tank, or at least can find the keys to the car this week!

The Dutch Widows just want to make music. The only important thing is to turn it over. It doesn't need to be perfect. It doesn't even need to be good. It just needs to be finished. Not finished is also OK. Though probably not for SpinTunes.

Jasper Lewis
Jasper Lewis is a singer-songwriter who lives in New Jersey. He has written and self-released several albums of original music and is always looking for fun songwriting challenges.
Bandcamp
Minnesota is known for its rich history of folk and alternative rock artists who don't shower or wear clean clothes. Jealous Brother carries on this rich musical tradition in the lesser known Southeastern part of the state, with influences ranging from Bob Dylan, the Jayhawks, Semisonic and Soul Asylum to Husker Du and the Replacements, and songs not nearly as good as theirs.
Jon Porobil
Jon has been recording in bedrooms and basements since he was 17 years old. Originally recording only for the Song Fight! community, Jon has recorded four full albums (three under his former stage name Jon Eric), the most recent of which is 2020's Stages. He has never won a Song Fight! or SpintTunes round, but he did win the 2020 season of Nur Ein, which is arguably more impressive.

The Serviettes is the moniker of Medway multi-instumentalist Dan Clarke. Active since the early 2010s, The Serviettes released their debut album in late 2017. This was followed by the Phantasmagoria EP in 2019, bridging the gap to The Serviettes eponymous second album, released in November 2020. The Serviettes draw on a diverse range of influences from blues, garage rock and chamber pop, which is spliced with elements of trip hop and dream pop.
