On this week’s encore broadcast of Mountain Stage, host Kathy Mattea welcomes Russell Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out, Jack Blocker, Cole Quest & The City Pickers, Courtney Hartman, and The Critton Hollow String Band.
Our Song of the Week comes from The Critton Hollow String Band, a group that has been performing traditional American music to audiences around the world since 1975. Last year, the trio stopped by Mountain Stage during their 50th anniversary and performed a handful of songs, including “A Better Life to Find,” which is our Song of the Week. The song features an old melody and a traditional refrain, with lyrics updated by the group’s Joe Herrmann.
You’ll also hear live performances by bluegrass legend Russell Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out, rising Americana artist Jack Blocker, songs of motherhood from singer-songwriterCourtney Hartman, plus Brooklyn bluegrass and folk group Cole Quest & The City Pickers, featuring Quest, the grandson of Woody Guthrie.
Tune in to one of our affiliate stations starting this Friday, Aug. 21, and make sure you are signed up for our newsletter to see where and when you can be a part of our live radio audience.
