After last week’s crazy winter blast, we need something to warm our spirits (and fingers… and feet… and snow-covered cars). Let Buckwheat Zydeco, JD McPherson and Pokey LaFarge bring a little glow to your radio on this week’s “Mountain Stage After Midnight.” 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 31 year history and shares their memories and songs with our late-night listeners.
Tune in Saturday February 28 and Sunday February 29 for”Mountain Stage After Midnight.”
First up is March 2006 show featuring Grammy Award-winning songwriter Jesse Harris, English pop rock group Magic Numbers, Lee Rocker of the Stray Cats, Danish crooner Tina Dico and popular bayou-funk act Buckwheat Zydeco (who’s returning to the Mountain Stage in Charleston on March 8) .
We’ll also hear a 2012 show featuring Kentucky bluegrass singer-songwriter Larry Cordle, country music legend Connie Smith, vintage rocker JD McPherson (who will play cuts from his new record on the next Mountain Stage), American roots crooner Pokey LaFarge & South City Three and “The First Lady of Rockabilly” Wanda Jackson.
Keep up with Larry Groce and the Mountain Stage crew on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram, carry us on your favorite device with The Mountain Stage Podcast and be in the audience for our next live show.

On this live recording, you’ll hear Michael Clark on drums, William Summer on Vocals and Percussion, Donald Harrison on Saxophone, Shea Pierre on Piano, and Chris Severin on bass.
