This week’s premiere broadcast of Mountain Stage features Portland, OR indie rock and folk group Blitzen Trapper, Philadelphia rock band Low Cut Connie, North Carolina bluegrass group Town Mountain, and amplified, Minneapolis-based singer-songwriter Humbird.

Our Song of the Week is “Planetarium” by Blitzen Trapper. The band stopped by Mountain Stage for their third appearance during their latest tour promoting their album 100’s of 1000’s, Millions of Billion.

This album was produced by the band’s lead singer and songwriter, Eric Earley and features a collection of songs that reflect on his musical beginnings, infused with new perspectives he gained through the exploration of Buddhism and meditation.
