Also scheduled to appear on June 9 is journeyman songwriter Steve Poltz. Each of Poltz’ previous appearances have been legendary in their own right, so we can’t wait to see what he has in store for us this time.

On Sunday, June 23 Mountain Stage will record the first of two episodes to take place during this year’s 15^th Anniversary of FestivALL Charleston. From June 16-30 our hometown becomes a work of art during the 15 days of this multi-faceted arts festival. We’ll welcome atmospheric singer and songwriter Damien Jurado, whose new album In The Shape Of A Storm is due April 12 from Mama Bird Recording Company.

Mountain Stage will be the capstone event of FestivALL as we close out the festivities on Sunday, June 30 at the Culture Center with a return appearance by the John Pizzarelli Trio. Any lover of classic jazz and hot guitar is a fan of Pizzarelli. This year he’s celebrating with For Centennial Reasons: 100 Year Salute to Nat King Cole, a tribute to the legendary Nat King Cole, who has been Pizzarelli’s hero and foundation over the last 25 years.
