This week’s premiere broadcast of Mountain Stage was recorded live at the WVU Canady Creative Arts Center in Morgantown, WV. Guest host David Mayfield welcomes Chuck Prophet & His Cumbia Shoes, The SteelDrivers, Basia Bulat, The Wildwoods, and Taylor Rae.
Our Song of the Week comes Chuck Prophet & His Cumbia Shoes, a collaboration between the California singer-songwriter and Cumbia group ¿Qiensave?. “Wake the Dead” is the lead single and title track of their collaborative album, which was released through Yep Roc Records in October of 2024. This collaboration seamlessly blends rock and Cumbia music, resulting in songs that are “intoxicatingly rhythmic.”
On this episode you’ll also hear live performances by bluegrass legends The SteelDrivers as they celebrate their 20th anniversary, Canadian folk singer-songwriter Basia Bulat, Americana singer-songwriter Taylor Rae, and folk trio The Wildwoods.
Tune in to one of our 270 affiliate stations starting this Friday, Oct. 10, and make sure you are signed up for our newsletter to see where we are recording our next live show.
