NewSong began as a nine-man band performing during services at the Morningside Baptist Church in Valdosta, Georgia, and they eventually began performing at other churches. Four of the original members, Eddie Carswell, Billy Goodwin, Eddie Middleton, and Bobby Apon, decided to become full-time Christian musicians. This turning point occurred while they were performing at a high school assembly. They were struck by the fact that after they performed and asked the students if they wanted to commit their lives to Christ, an overwhelming majority walked forward. On May 1, 1981, the four men loaded up Goodwin's 1973 Dodge Aspen station wagon and headed off on what would turn out to be a lifelong mission.
Currently the band includes founders Carswell and Goodwin, as well as three newer members, Michael O'Brien, Steve Reischl, and Matt Butler. On the website of the group's publicist, Richard De La Font, O'Brien commented, "One of the best things about NewSong is our diverse backgrounds and musical perspectives. Each member brings an individual style or component to what we do, and when it all comes together on stage, it's a wall of sound that seems to energize audiences."
