Remember, remember the 8th and 9th of November… for another revolutionary edition of “Mountain Stage After Midnight!” 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.
Experience a bit of funk and a bit of rock Saturday November 8 and Sunday November on “Mountain Stage After Midnight.”
First up is a June 2011 show featuring Nashville indie rocker Tristen, talented upright bassist Amy LaVere (who is returning to Mountain Stage later this month), musical partners-in-crime Martin Jones & Don Dixon (the former of which is performing in the same Mountain Stage show as LaVere later this month), Irish indie pop-rock group Bell X1 and the legendary Blind Boys of Alabama.
Next is another 2011 show featuring the desert blues diva Khaira Arby, the “Empress of the Unexpected” Susan Werner, coffehouse folkers Elizabeth & the Catapult, Southern blues rocker JJ Grey and legendary indie rock group Ra Ra Riot.
