On this week’s encore broadcast of Mountain Stage, CBS Sunday Morning correspondent, and West Virginia native, Conor Knighton joins us as guest host to welcome The Baseball Project, The Minus 5, Bob Mould, Chris Stamey, and Loose Cattle.
For the first time since 1991, Peter Buck and Mike Mills of R.E.M. returned to Mountain Stage, this time as part of supergroup The Baseball Project, a baseball-themed outfit that writes and performs songs about baseball legends, events, and culture. Formed in 2007, this group of rock legends is comprised of Buck and Mills (R.E.M.), along with Scott McCaughey (Young Fresh Fellows), Steve Wynn (The Dream Syndicate), and Linda Pitmon (Steve Wynn and the Miracle 3, Zuzu’s Petals).
Our Song of the Week is their live performance of “To the Veterans Committee,” a musical endorsement to induct Dale Murphy into the Baseball Hall of Fame. “Two MVPs and five Gold Gloves/ Atlanta fans’ undying love”
Elsewhere on this episode of Mountain Stage, you’ll hear performances by pop rock band The Minus 5 -comprised of all the same members of Baseball Project on different instruments, plus alt-rock pioneer Bob Mould, renowned North Carolina producer, songwriter and founding member of The dB’s, Chris Stamey, and indie-country band Loose Cattle. Check out the full playlist here.
Join us starting Friday, July 10 on these NPR stations to hear this episode of Mountain Stage, LIVE from the Culture Center Theater in Charleston, WV.
This live show was recorded in September 2025 and was presented in partnership with the Charleston Dirty Birds who we thank for their support!

This week, we’re traveling to summer attractions across Appalachia. Like a bus that sits on a rock at the West Virginia confluence of the New and Gauley rivers. Also, one person’s weedy nuisance is another’s “golden” treasure. So says a North Carolina fiber artist. And, we spill the tea on a classic roadside attraction.
