On this week’s encore broadcast of Mountain Stage, host Kathy Mattea welcomes songwriter, producer and legend of the B3 organ, Booker T. Jones, bluesy folk singer and songwriter Chris Smither, renowned hitmaker, singer and multi-instrumentalist Karla Bonoff, songwriter and storytelling wild man Steve Poltz, and honey-toned singer and writer Amber Rubarth to the stage in Rohnert Park, California.
