This week’s episode of Mountain Stage revisits a recording from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in the Terrace Theater in Washington, D.C. last February.
Host Kathy Mattea welcomes legendary American folk music David Bromberg Quintet, Grammy Award winning bluegrass musician Peter Rowan, veteran roots music duo Larry Campbell & Teresa Williams, jam rock super-group The High Hawks, and Nora Brown, who plays old-time traditional music accompanied by fiddler Stephanie Coleman.
Our Song of the Week is by acoustic music icon Peter Rowan, who has been coming to Mountain Stage since 1985 and, at age 80, still sounds amazing.
On this version of “From My Mountain (Calling You),” Rowan is accompanied on fiddle by The High Hawks’ Tim Carbone, who you’ll also hear on this week’s episode.
Tune in to this week’s episode starting Friday, January 5 on these public radio stations. Be sure to sign up for email updates to help plan your trip to be a part of a live show in the new year!

The group is organized around Cornelius Eady, a poet and professor at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, whose writing has been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. With the help of musicians Lisa Liu and Charlie Rauh, Eady puts his words to music.
