This week’s broadcast of Mountain Stage features the powerful soul-rock of The War And Treaty, 2022 Americana Music Association’s Duo/Group of the Year. Michael and Tanya bring along their elite band and songs from their new EP Blank Page.
We also hear a rousing performance from The Nth Power, an all-star trio of musicians who came together in New Orleans that includes female powerhouse Nikki Glaspie on drums and vocals, bassist Nate Edgar, and singer and guitarist Nick Cassarino. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania’s horn-laden rockers The Commonheart make their Mountain Stage debut, and we’ll also hear live performances from violinist and songwriter Deni Bonet and some endearing indie-pop from The A’s.
They’re all in live performance with our guest host Larry Groce starting Friday Dec. 9 on on these stations.
Our Song of the Week is The War And Treaty’s “Lover’s Game,” a soulful rocker with a retro style that brings to mind the glory days of Ike & Tina Turner. Hear the song below, and be sure to join us for the broadcast to hear the band’s entire set.

For Sue and Stan Jennings, woodworking isn’t just a way to make a living, it’s a way of life. What started out as a passion for the craft was born out of necessity. Over the last 30 years, the Jennings have developed a thriving business making wood objects called treenware — small wooden kitchen utensils.
This week on Inside Appalachia, a pair of former miners found love shoveling coal and shaped a life making wooden spoons. We learn about treenware. Also, NASCAR Hall of Famer Leonard Wood shares stories, and a bit of advice. And, group bike rides are a way to socialize and get outside. But here in Appalachia, newcomers are met with steep hills.
On this West Virginia Morning, Sue and Stan Jennings for 30 years have run Allegheny Treenware, a company that makes wooden kitchen utensils. But they started off as a couple of coal miners. Folkways Reporter Capri Cafaro has more.
