LISTEN: Blitzen Trapper Has The Mountain Stage Song Of The Week

This week’s broadcast of Mountain Stage features a collection of five memorable sets from five different episodes recorded in 2024. Our “Five Favorites” special includes performances by Blitzen Trapper, Amy Helm, Kyshona, Chuck Prophet & The Makeout Quartet, and Matt Pond PA—each carefully selected by our staff of producers.

Pacific Northwestern folk-rock outfit Blitzen Trapper made their third appearance on Mountain Stage in November 2024 at our home venue, the Culture Center Theater in Charleston, WV. While their set featured a couple of songs from their latest release, 100’s of 1000’s, Millions of Billions, our Song of the Week is their stirring performance of fan-favorite “Furr,” written by frontman Eric Earley and originally released on Blitzen Trapper’s 2008 album of the same name.

Tune in to one of these NPR stations starting Friday, May 9 to hear this song, plus more from Blitzen Trapper, singer-songwriter Amy Helm, songwriter, music therapist and vocalist Kyshona, San Francisco rocker Chuck Prophet & The Makeout Quartet, and cinematic folk from Matt Pond PA.
