LISTEN: Kyle Tuttle Band Has The Mountain Stage Song Of The Week

We continue our fall broadcast season with a premiere episode of Mountain Stage, recorded live at the Joan C. Edwards Performing Arts Center in Huntington, WV. We partnered with our friends at the Marshall Artists Series to kick off their 88th season with our host Kathy Mattea, J.D. Simo & Luther Dickinson, Paul Kelly, Kyle Tuttle Band, John Craigie, and Wayne Graham.

Our Song of the Week comes from Nashville banjo man, Kyle Tuttle. “Hard To Say,” from his newest solo album Labor of Lust, reflects the grief Tuttle experienced after the loss of his close friend and bandmate Jeff Austin, his marriage, and his job all at the same time. The album was written over five years and features an arrangement of traditional bluegrass string tunes and a fully plugged-in jam grass sound with electric banjo and drums.

Hear Tuttle’s full set, plus live performances by roots guitarists JD Simo & Luther Dickinson, Australian music icon Paul Kelly, singer-songwriter and storyteller John Craigie, and Kentucky rock band Wayne Graham on this week’s broadcast.

Tune in to one of these affiliate stations starting Friday, Nov. 1 to hear the full episode.
