Since Max Hatt and Edda Glass were recently crowned the winners of the Mountain Stage NewSong Contest (congrads to the jazzy duo!), this week’s “Mountain Stage After Midnight” features some amazing NewSong alumni. Broadcast from 1am-5am Saturday and Sunday mornings here on West Virginia Public Radio, “Mountain Stage After Midnight” takes the best episodes from the show’s 31 year history and shares their memories and songs with our late-night listeners. Each week we’ll hand-pick two of our favorite episodes that’ll alternate order each night.
Tune in this Saturday December 6 and Sunday December 7 on “Mountain Stage After Midnight” for some rock’n, folk’n and pop’n jams.
First up: an October 2008 show featuring 2008 Mountain Stage NewSong contest winners/ singing-songwriting duo Jacob & Lily, Kentucky guitarist Chris Knight, Irish-American supergroup Solas, modern bluegrass outfit Dan Tyminski Band and the ever-so-charming country star Patty Loveless.
Next: an August 2011 show with roots rock band Moreland & Arbuckle, Michigan folk ruckus-makers Frontier Ruckus, female folk rock group Blame Sally, 2010 Mountain Stage NewSong contest winner/indie crooner Amber Rubarth and legendary guitarist (and the other half of Hall & Oates) John Oates.
Did you know you can stream Mountain Stage 24/7 on our new website? Or find throwback pictures and behind-the-scenes snapshots on the show’s Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram? And when you’re done binge-listening on Serial, don’t hesitate to indulge in the best live performance radio with The Mountain Stage Podcast.
