Host Kathy Mattea welcomes Loudon Wainwright III, Janiva Magness, John Ellison & Joe Beard, Dan Navarro, and Ali McGuirk on this week’s encore broadcast of Mountain Stage, recorded live at Kodak Hall at the beautiful Eastman Theatre in Rochester, NY.

Our Song of the Week comes from the charming, topical folk singer-songwriter, Loudon Wainwright III, who has made over 17 appearances on Mountain Stage across every decade that the show has existed since 1983. His performance of “Middle of the Night” is our Song of the Week.
