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 31 year history and shares their memories and songs with our late-night listeners.
Clear your schedules for some Mex’n and Tex’n tunes Saturday May 2 and Sunday May 3 on “Mountain Stage After Midnight.”
One is a November 2008 show, recorded at the Creative Arts Center on the campus of West Virginia University. It features such talent as Quetzal, Son de Madera, Thea Gilmore, Mates of State and Al & the Transamericans.
Another comes from October 2012 and includes David Wax Museum, Chuck Prophet, Jesse Harris, Lucy Kaplansky (who’s coming back to the Mountain Stage this June!) and Barnaby Bright.
