This week’s broadcast of Mountain Stage features a highly danceable set from vocalist Victoria Victoria, who brought along jazz-giant Charlie Hunter on guitar, performing songs from her new album Waysidefor the live audience in Charleston, West Virginia. We’ll also hear from indie-art folk rocker Cass McCombs, bassist and songwriter Scott Mulvahill, Toronto-based songwriter Julianna Riolino, and California’s Steady Holiday.
Victoria Victoria is the North Carolina based brainchild of singer-songwriter-producer Tori Elliott. Our Song of the Week is the plaintive “Hardware Store,” where the subject roams the isles of the hardware store in anticipation of seeing a lost love-interest.
