This week’s encore broadcast of Mountain Stage features Portland, OR indie folk rockers Blitzen Trapper, Philadelphia’s piano-driven rock band Low Cut Connie, North Carolina bluegrass group Town Mountain, and amplified, Minneapolis-based singer-songwriter Humbird.
Our Song of the Week is “Planetarium” by Blitzen Trapper. The band stopped by Mountain Stage in November of 2024 for their third appearance, promoting their album 100’s of 1000’s, Millions of Billion.
The album was produced by the band’s lead singer and songwriter, Eric Earley and features a collection of songs that reflect on his musical beginnings, infused with new perspectives he gained through the exploration of Buddhism and meditation.
Hear Blitzen Trapper’s full set, plus more live performances by Low Cut Connie, Town Mountain, and Humbird on this week’s broadcast when you tune in to one of these NPR stations starting Friday, Aug. 8.
