Need to countrify your weekend? Of course you do, and that’s why “Mountain Stage After Midnight” is here to help with performances from some amazing alt-country, bluegrass, and folk artists. 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 and they’ll alternate order each night.
Tune your dials to West Virginia Public Radio this Saturday October 11 and Sunday October 12 for two good ol’ performances on “Mountain Stage After Midnight.
First you’ll hear a 2011 performance featuring Seattle folk pop band Ivan & Alyosha, indie folk group The Low Anthem, singer-songwriter duo Sarah Lee Guthrie and Johnny Irion, folk supergroup Red Horse, alt-country legend Lucinda Williams (who just released her eleventh studio album). See the playlist.
Next is a 2007 performance featuring Virginia-based alt-bluegrass ensemble Larry Keel & Natural Bridge, Canadian folk pop chanteuse Rose Cousins, West Virginia country band The Davisson Brothers Band, contemporary jazz vocalist Catherine Russell, and country group/The Voice mentors Little Big Town (who are releasing a new record, Pain Killer, this month). See the playlist.
Keep up with Mountain Stage news and events over on the show’s Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and Instagram. If you’re in the mood for more great jams, make sure to subscribe to The Mountain Stage Podcast to hear why Mountain Stage remains the home of live music on public radio.
