Our spring broadcast season continues this week with a premiere episode of Mountain Stage, recorded at the Culture Center Theater in Charleston, West Virginia. Host Kathy Mattea welcomes Oliver Wood, Stephen Wilson Jr., Dar Williams, TopHouse, and Cloud Cult.
On this episode, Stephen Wilson Jr. makes his Mountain Stage debut. Originally from rural Southern Indiana, Wilson describes his sound as “Death Cab for Country” and continues his rise as a prominent star in the music world with a unique sound that combines country, grunge and indie rock.
Our Song of the Week is “Billy” by Stephen Wilson Jr., a song that unapologetically embraces his roots. You can find this song on his debut album Son of Dad.
Tune in to one of our 270+ affiliate stations starting Friday, March 21 to hear Wilson’s full set, plus live performances by roots music mainstay Oliver Wood, folk singer-songwriter Dar Williams, Nashville folk-pop group TopHouse, and experimental indie folk band Cloud Cult.
