This week’s encore broadcast of Mountain Stage was recorded on the campus of West Virginia University (WVU) at the Canady Creative Arts Center. Joining us on this episode is Ruthie Foster, Charlie Mars, The Wandering Hearts, Fellow Pynins, Rebecca Porter and guest host David Mayfield.
Our Song of the Week is by the versatile Austin, Texas-based vocal powerhouse Ruthie Foster. The three-time Grammy winner performed “Healing Time,” the upbeat title song from her ninth studio album. Songs from Foster’s 2022 album exude feelings of power, love and freedom, which was felt by the audience who were brought to their feet for a standing ovation at the end of her set.
