Listen: West Virginia Indie-Rocker William Matheny Has Our Mountain Stage Song of the Week From 2021

White, Louisville, Kentucky's roots-rockers Bendigo Fletcher, singer/songwriter Andrea Von Kampen, West Virginia's own William Matheny, and the innovative banjo sounds of Tall Tall Trees. Join us starting Jan. 6 on your favorite NPR Music affiliate.
This week’s encore episode was recorded in Morgantown, West Virginia – without an audience — thanks to a gnarly snow and ice storm that took over the area. Our colleagues at WVU Arts & Entertainment helped us produce the show, even though it was cancelled for ticket holders, at the WVU Canady Creative Arts Center on the campus of West Virginia University.
We hear exciting sets from songwriter, producer and performer Matthew E. White, with songs from his latest, K Bay. Kentucky-based roots-rockers Bendigo Fletcher also join us, along with songwriter Andrea Von Kampen, the innovative banjo sounds of Tall Tall Trees, and a set from West Virginia’s own indie-rocker, William Matheny, who has our Song of the Week.
William Matheny – Bird of Youth, live on Mountain Stage
WV indie-rocker William Matheny performs a new song from his upcoming album due sometime in 2022.
Accompanied by Bud Carroll on guitar, Craig Burletic on bass, Jeremy Batten on keyboards, and Clint Sutton on drums, Matheny performs “Bird of Youth,” a finely crafted piece of introspection, from his upcoming album, to be released later this year.
Be sure to join us starting this weekend on these NPR Music stations for the whole episode and take a look at our Live Show Schedule to plan your trip to be a part of our radio audience.
