In December, West Virginia University art professor Joseph Lupo tagged Inside Appalachia in an Instagram post that showcased four-color reductive relief prints made by WVU students — each one inspired by a story or episode they heard on the show. Inside Appalachia host Mason Adams spoke with three of Lupo’s students and asked them to describe their work and its connection to the show.

This week’s encore broadcast of Mountain Stage was recorded live at the Culture Center Theater in Charleston, West Virginia. Host Kathy Mattea welcomes The MC Taylor Goldsmith Show, Kat Edmonson, Ken Pomeroy, Jonny Fritz, and Scott Mulvahill.
Our Song of the Week comes from The MC Taylor Goldsmith Show, which combines the breezy California folk-rock of two Mountain Stage alumni. Longtime friends and collaborators Taylor Goldsmith (of Dawes) and MC Taylor (of Hiss Golden Messenger) joined forces for a limited run of shows in some of their favorite intimate venues, and we were lucky enough to be one of those stops. The duo performed a mix of songs from their extensive catalogs, including our Song of the Week, “House Parties,” from the Dawes album O Brother.
Tune in to an affiliate station near you starting Friday, Jan. 23 to hear their full set, plus more live performances by award-winning singer-songwriter and theatrical actress Kat Edmonson, rising Oklahoma singer-songwriter Ken Pomeroy, self-proclaimed “Dad Country” artist Jonny Fritz, and renowned upright bassist Scott Mulvahill.
On this week’s encore broadcast of Mountain Stage, you’ll hear live performances by Al Stewart, Livingston Taylor, Sweet Honey In The Rock, The Nighthawks, and Cristina Vane with host Kathy Mattea. We recorded episode 1,054 on the campus of George Mason University at the Hylton Performing Arts Center in Manassas, VA.
Our Song of the Week comes from the charming, topical folk singer-songwriter, Loudon Wainwright III, who has made over 17 appearances on Mountain Stage across every decade that the show has existed since 1983. His performance of “Middle of the Night” is our Song of the Week.
Listen this week for an encore broadcast of Mountain Stage featuring Larkin Poe, Victoria Canal, Raye Zaragoza, Ron Pope, and Christian Lopez. This episode was recorded with our host Kathy Mattea on the campus of West Virginia University, thanks to our friends at WVU College of Creative Arts and Media.
