This week, a new generation is learning the story behind "Brown Hill," a song by influential bluegrass band The Lost and Found. Also, data centers are changing the landscape, and one project is planning to plow over an extremely rare stand of seed-producing American chestnut trees. And, small food producers embrace digital technology for the humble farm stand.
Broadcast from 1am-5am Saturday and Sunday mornings here on West Virginia Public Broadcasting, Mountain Stage After Midnight takes the best episodes from the show’s 32 year history and shares their memories and songs with our late-night listeners.
If you’re a fan of live performance radio (and, let’s face it, who isn’t?), stay up late Saturday July 25 and Sunday July 26 for some spectacular sets on Mountain Stage After Midnight.
First up is a September 2006 show at the Paramount Theater in Bristol, Tennessee. We’ll hear from Darrell Scott, Ollabelle, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, Roni Stoneman and Reagan Boggs.
