Mountain Stage After Midnight- January 24 & 25

A pinch of folk, a dash of soul and a good dollop of bluegrass. Mix it all together and what do you get? This week’s “Mountain Stage After Midnight!” 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. Each week we’ll hand-pick two of our favorite episodes that’ll alternate order each night. 

Tune in this Saturday January 24 and Sunday January 25 for a good ol’ time on “Mountain Stage After Midnight.”

First up is a January 2006 that features performances from old-time Appalachian band The Biscuit Burners, country singer-songwriter Jon Randall, Americana crooner Alecia Nugent, bluegrass player Shawn Camp and “the new Queen of Bluegrass” Rhonda Vincent & the Rage.
