This week, when an award-winning Asheville chef decided to launch a restaurant, she returned to a rich community tradition. Also, the popularity of weaving waxes and wanes. At the moment, it’s having a renaissance. And, during Lent, Yugoslavian fish stew is a local favorite in Charleston, West Virginia.

This week’s episode features performances from Canadian songwriter and activist Sarah Harmer, who has her first new album in 10 years out now. We also hear from Ohio based country folk artist Arlo McKinley, a fun acoustic performance from Buffalo Wabs & the Price Hill Hustle, bassist and songwriter John Inghram performs a set with his band, plus emerging Austin-based songwriter Taylor Rae.
Our Song of the Week is by bassist, songwriter and vocalist John Inghram, who has appeared on Mountain Stage alongside several artists over the years, but he steps out as the front man of his own band on this week’s show. John’s self-titled debut album, due for release Friday, May 13, features the single “Palisades,” which we’ve chosen as our Song of the Week.
Joining Inghram is joined by guitarist Bud Carroll, drummer Andrew Gillum and keyboardist Brad Goodall.

WVPB had a conversation with Us & Them host Trey Kay earlier this week on the significance today of the 250th anniversary of America’s founding. This week, WVPB is hosting a special screening event at Marshall University with excerpts from Ken Burns’ The American Revolution, and Kay will lead a panel discussion. We once again hear from Kay, this time speaking with one of the panelists — Marshall University political science professor George Davis — about why revisiting the nation’s founding story still matters.
WVPB will be screening excerpts of Ken Burns’ recent PBS documentary series "The American Revolution" this week at Marshall. Us & Them host Trey Kay will moderate the event, and he spoke recently with WVPB News Director Eric Douglas about why revisiting the nation’s founding story matters today. Also, a bill to temporarily delay moving a child to homeschooling during an active case of abuse or neglect hit a snag in the Senate on Monday.
