UNITED STATES – Three more performers qualified for the American Song Contest in last week’s Qualifying Round 3.

Rider Lynch of Colorado, Ni/Co of Alabama, and Grant Knoche of Texas were declared as having earned enough points to advance to the semi-finals.

They join Tyler Braden of Tennessee, who was named as last week’s jury qualifier.

The remaining performances from last week might still qualify at the conclusion of the heat round if they gain enough popularity on social media and streaming services when two acts will qualify as “redemption songs.”
