Mountain Stage After Midnight

Some say Froot Loops, others say Corn Flakes, and then there's that whole All-Bran thing, but our preferred Kellogg has been and will always be Stephen.

This weekend, Bahamas returns to over 150 NPR stations with his recent performance on the Mountain Stage. But do you know what's better than one dose of Canadian folk pop-rock? Two doses of Canadian folk pop-rock. That's where "Mountain Stage After Midnight" comes into play.

"Aw man, [band] AND [artist] were on your show in [year]? That sounds amazing. Why wasn't I there!"

To say that Mountain Stage is excited about returning to Grand Marais this September? Total. Understatement.

What's on the line-up for this week's #MSAM? A little folk, a little alt-rock and a whole lot of archived music goodness.

Stop us if you've heard this one: Soul'n'roll rocker Booker T. Jones, indie pop darlings Lake Street Dive and folk singer-songwriter Brett Dennen walk onto a stage... If that story doesn't ring a bell, you're in for a treat on this week's Mountain Stage After Midnight.

Did you hear? Our good friend Tift Merritt is returning to Mountain Stage this fall! Since we have such a “Sweet Spot” for the singer-songwriter, we’ll look back at one of her last performances (in Alaska, no less!) on this week’s Mountain Stage After Midnight

Between the two of them, Bela Fleck and Abigail Washburn have appeared on Mountain Stage over 15 times in the last twenty years. Until the First Family of the Banjo make their next appearance on the show (get to writing, Bela/Abby!), we'll go ahead and listen back to their past pick'n tunes on Mountain Stage After Midnight.

What if I told you that Neko Case, Vic Chesnutt, Colin Hay and The Proclaimers took the same stage years ago? And what if I told you that it all happened in good ol' Charleston, WV. Don’t believe me? Hear it for yourself this weekend on Mountain Stage After Midnight.
