Why not celebrate two legendary singers’ birthdays with two great Mountain Stage performances? 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.
We’ll hear Wanda Jackson’s 2011 performance and Shelby Lynne’s 2008 performance this Saturday October 18 and Sunday October 19 on “Mountain Stage After Midnight.”
First up is a 2011 performance featuring the musical talents of Wanda Jackson, Carolyn Wonderland, Joe Ely, New Rope String Band, and The Wronglers/Jimmie Dale Gilmore.
Next you’ll hear a 2008 performances from Shelby Lynne, James McMurtry, Jim Bianco, The Lee Boys, and Malcolm Holcombe.
Like what you hear? Support it during West Virginia Public Radio’s fall pledge drive!
