This week’s episode of Mountain Stage was recorded in Clarksburg, West Virginia at the beautifully renovated Robinson Grand Performing Arts Center. Host Kathy Mattea welcomes fiddle man Jason Carter, who joined us with his all-star band of friends.
Our Song of the Week is Carter’s performance of “Queen of the Nashville Night” off of his 2022 album Lowdown Hoedown. As an award-winning fiddler, Jason has had an impressive career sharing the spotlight with a huge outfit of bluegrass heroes. For three decades, he has been a member of the Del McCoury Band and is a founding member of the Travelin’ McCourys.
