Returning to Mountain Stage for the third time as a solo artist, in addition to many appearances with Indigo Girls, singer songwriter Amy Ray will return with her band to perform songs from her newest release of original material, “Holler.” Recorded at Echo Mountain Studio in Asheville, NC, Ray says “Holler” is “inspired by traditional country, southern rock, mountain music, gospel and bluegrass.”
Due on September 28, “Holler” features cameos by Vince Gill, Derek Trucks, Kofi Burbridge, The Wood Brothers and The Freedom Singers, among others.
Since her last appearance on Mountain Stage in 2012, the fearless Anais Mitchell has been busy with her Off-Broadway musical theater piece “Hadestown,” which has been garnering award and nominations in just about every category imaginable.

Advance tickets for December 2 are available to Mountain Stage Members now (members, check your e-mail inbox for your discount code). Mountain Stage Members make a recurring gift of $10 a month or more and receive online pre-sale access to all our Culture Center Theater shows.
