This week, on this special episode with guest co-host, ballad singer Saro Lynch-Thomason, we explore songs about lawbreaking folk heroes, runaway trains and murder ballads.
Music starts at 6:30pm and the headliner hits the stage at 7:30pm. For more information about Live on the Levee (including where to park and what to bring) click here.

Grab some goodies from WVPB’s booth at Friday’s Live on the Levee.
Even better, West Virginia Public Broadcasting will have its own table at the event. Stop on by and meet local music program hosts like Eclectopia’s Jim Lange, All Things Considered’s Matt Jackfert, Lost Highways’ Bill Lynch and A Change of Tune and Mountain Stage’s Joni Deutsch. Grab some #wvpublic swag, take some pics with the voices of WVPB and tell us why you like to #listenlocalwv. Oh, and make sure to follow the show and our radio hosts (Jim, Matt, Bill and Joni) on social media.
This week's premiere broadcast of Mountain Stage was recorded live at the Canady Creative Arts Center on the campus of West Virginia University in Morgantown, WV. Host Kathy Mattea welcomed SHADOWLANDS feat. S. Carey and John Raymond, Tae & The Neighborly, Damn Tall Buildings, Erin McKeown, and Ken Yates.
We have a conversation with Marshall University's Turning Point USA chapter president. We also learn about a recently released horror film shot near Huntington, and the population decline in central Appalachia that may be getting worse.
