LISTEN: Sam Weber Has The Mountain Stage Song Of The Week

On this week’s premiere broadcast of Mountain Stage, host Kathy Mattea welcomes The Steel Wheels, Sam Weber, Peter Holsapple, Lily Talmers, and Rylee Bapst Band to the Templeton Blackburn Alumni Memorial Auditorium in Athens, OH.

Thank you to Ohio LIVE and WOUB for a warm welcome back.

Our Song of the Week is “Cowboy” by prolific Canadian singer-songwriter, guitarist, music producer, and recording engineer, Sam Weber. This track comes from his sixth full-length album, Deus Cowboy, which was released in 2025, and is also included in his live EP Live In New Haven.
