Some say Froot Loops, others say Corn Flakes, and then there’s that whole All-Bran thing, but our preferred Kellogg has been and will always be Stephen.
Broadcast from 1am-5am Saturday and Sunday mornings here on West Virginia Public Radio, “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. Each week we’ll hand-pick two of our favorite episodes and they’ll alternate order each night.
Join us as we flashback to performances from the year 2011 for Saturday September 19 and Sunday September 20 on “Mountain Stage After Midnight.”
First you’ll hear a November 2011 performance from self-proclaimed “song-doodler” Katie Costello, country crooners The Sweetback Sisters, post-bluegrass band Bearfoot, retro-pop group Fitz and the Tantrums, and American rock-and-rollers Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers (btw, Stephen Kellogg returns to the Mountain Stage this November!).
Next a December 2011 performance featuring country singer-songwriter Matraca Berg, all-star ensemble NoamPikelny & Friends, American roots group Caleb Klauder Country Band, Canadian troupe April Verch Band, and outlaw country singer Billy Joe Shaver.

Folk music is not the easiest way to make a living, but artists still find a way to balance making music with putting food on the table. Mason Adams traveled to MidMountain arts collective in Virginia, where he spoke with both veteran folksingers and emerging talents.
This week's encore broadcast of Mountain Stage was recorded on the campus of West Virginia University (WVU) at the Canady Creative Arts Center. On this episode, we hear live performances from Duke Robillard Band, Cedric Burnside, Sam Weber, Las Cafeteras, and The Black Feathers.
In this album, Soltis performs works all by American female composers, highlighting a group of underrepresented musicians in the Classical realm. Soltis says this album shows how “American women in classical music are not isolated novelties … but rather they represent an unbroken tradition of compositional excellence.” Some highlights from the album include Amy Beach’s “Berceuse” and Florence Price’s "Adoration."
This week on Inside Appalachia, crossing a river by ferry can be a special experience, and hard to come by. On the Ohio River, a retiring ferry captain passes the torch to his deck hand. And Hurricane Helene destroyed roads and knocked out power and cell service across western North Carolina. But there was still a way to keep people in touch.
