Hosted by Kathy Mattea, the radio show taping will welcome the return of fiercely independent recording artist Ani DiFranco, who will make her seventh appearance on Mountain Stage since 1993. DiFranco’s new album Revolutionary Love, the 22nd studio album in an iconic career, is available now.

Other guests already announced include beloved singer-songwriter Dar Williams, Americana mainstay Hayes Carll, and one more artist to be announced soon. The show will be recorded for delayed broadcast to Mountain Stage affiliates later this fall. There will be no live-stream element offered for this event.
