On this West Virginia Week, a new obesity report paints a grim picture for West Virginia, but can anything be done? Also, Americans have been struggling with housing for years, but is the market changing? And a new novel set in Pocahontas County tells the story of two high school students as they unravel a decades-old mystery.
Recorded at the Peoples Bank Theatre in Marietta, OH, in 2018, this week’s episode of Mountain Stage with Larry Groce features a broad array of musical styles, drawing from pop, rock, soul and folk.
Our Song of the Week comes from Ohio-born, Richmond, VA native Natalie Prass, who brought her band to Marietta, with songs from her sophomore album The Future And The Past. Our preview of this week’s show is the fun, uptempo soul track “Short Court Style.”
Recorded in Richmond with producer Matthew E. White, Prass tells us in her set that the recording console used in the making of The Future And The Past was used first in Ohio for acts like the Ohio Players and others.
