This week on Inside Appalachia, we visit a summer camp that’s part of the legacy of Affrilachian poet Norman Jordan. Also, during the Great Depression, Osage, West Virginia was a raucous river town. It’s sleepier now, but music is keeping the magic alive. And, the author of an upcoming graphic novel about pipeline fighters has a message for people outside the region.

Songwriter’s Hall of Fame member and twice-grammy nominated artist Beth Nielsen Chapman performs on this week’s encore episode of Mountain Stage with guest host Kathy Mattea.
We’ll hear Chapman perform songs from her latest album, “Hearts of Glass,” and others from her prolific career.
Our Song of the Week, “How We Love,” appears on her 2010 release “Back to Love.” While she performs with the Mountain Stage Band for most of her set, “How We Love” features just Chapman at the piano with her powerfully expressive voice and heartfelt lyrics in the spotlight.
