On this West Virginia Week, we learned about plants that can thrive in former mine lands, we kayaked along the Gauley River, we learned about an art exhibit inspired by recent cuts at West Virginia University, and we saw dogs fly from Charleston to Michigan to reach their forever homes.
Broadcast from 1am-5am Saturday and Sunday mornings here on West Virginia Public Broadcasting, Mountain Stage After Midnight takes the best episodes from the show’s 32 year history and shares their memories and songs with our late-night listeners.
If you’re a fan of live performance radio (and, let’s face it, who isn’t?), stay up late Saturday July 25 and Sunday July 26 for some spectacular sets on Mountain Stage After Midnight.
First up is a September 2006 show at the Paramount Theater in Bristol, Tennessee. We’ll hear from Darrell Scott, Ollabelle, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, Roni Stoneman and Reagan Boggs.

This week’s premiere broadcast of Mountain Stage features the 2022 NPR Tiny Desk Contest Winner, Alisa Amador. As a bilingual sing-songwriter, Amador commands audiences with her soulful voice and mixture of rock, jazz, funk and alternative folk that is sweetly wrapped with the Latin music she grew up with.
It is the second time the band will participate in the historic parade which first took place in 1924. “I am, for one, so excited to be representing the state and this region of the country once again on such a big national stage,” Band Director Cheldon Williams said.
Monday marks the 22nd anniversary of the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001. Most of us have an “I remember where I was” story from that day of watching the planes crash into buildings and the horror we all felt.
