Need to refresh your music library? Let “Mountain Stage After Midnight” help. 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 for some good tunes and great times this Saturday November 22 and Sunday November 23 on “Mountain Stage After Midnight.”
First is an October 2011 show with Celtic rock band Scythian, experimental folk rocker Joseph Arthur, alt-folk group Vandaveer, Kentucky-born cellist-composer Ben Sollee and Irish singer-songwriter Paul Brady.
Next up is another October 2011 show featuring the voices and tunes of retro-country crooner Nikki Lane, country singer and multi-instrumentalist Charlie Worsham (who’s returning to Mountain Stage in January), American folk trio Kruger Brothers, North Carolina-based string revivalists Red Clay Ramblers and Californian folk-pop singer Brett Dennen.
