On this week’s encore broadcast of Mountain Stage, host Kathy Mattea welcomes Paul Thorn, Raul Midón, Eden Brent, Wood Box Heroes, and Jett Holden to the stage. This episode was recorded at the historic Robinson Grand Performing Arts Center in Clarksburg, WV.
Our Song of the Week is “Life Is Just A Vapor” by Paul Thorn. This is the title track on Life is Just a Vapor, which was released earlier this year via Thirty Tigers.
Thorn is a Mississippi native who started off as a professional boxer, turning to songwriting in the 1990s. He has been a guest on Mountain Stage over ten times and continues to win us all over with his poignant and often hilarious songs and storytelling.
Tune in to one of our affiliate stations starting Friday, June 13 to hear the full episode with live performances by Paul Thorn, New Mexico-born singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Raul Midón, queen of Mississippi blues Eden Brent, bluegrass supergroup Wood Box Heroes, and rising country artist Jett Holden.
