This week’s encore broadcast of Mountain Stage will start Friday, June 2, 2023. This re-broadcast is from our 2022 fall season, and features Ireland’s We Banjo 3, Memphis’ modern soul band Southern Avenue, eclectic rock band Cordovas, Canadian acoustic blues belter Matt Andersen, and the folk-rock diva from New Orleans, Lilli Lewis.
Ireland’s progressive roots group We Banjo 3 made their second appearance on Mountain Stage during this visit. The Galway, Ireland, and Nashville-based quartet––comprised of two sets of brothers, Enda & Fergal Scahill and Martin & David Howley, the band incorporates banjo, fiddle, mandolin, guitar and percussion beside strong choruses and melodic hooks, to create their buzz-worth live shows.
Our Song of the Week is the band’s performance of “Garden Song,” which is included on their album Open The Road.
Hear the entire set from We Banjo 3, plus performances by Southern Avenue, Cordovas, Matt Andersen and Lilli Lewis, starting this Friday, June 2 on these public radio stations.
If you are listening overseas or on a smart device, the Mountain Stage podcast of this episode is now available.
Our Song of the Week comes from The Critton Hollow String Band, a band that has been performing traditional American music to audiences around the world since 1975. 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.
