This week, Appalachian Dungeon Fest spotlights the fantastical music of dungeon synth. Also, every year, the Kentucky Mountain Laurel Festival stages a formal dance. Organizers rely on a manual that’s been passed down for generations. And, small dairy farms are closing across the country. Central Appalachia has been hit hard
Bit Logic is the latest album from road-tested, blue-collar rockers Bottle Rockets, who have been visiting Mountain Stage since 1995. In their ninth appearance on the show, the Missouri-based group performed a big chunk of Bit Logic, including “Stovall’s Grove,” our Mountain Stage Song of the Week.
You can hear the entire set from Bottle Rockets, plus live performances by Amy Helm, John R. Miller & the Engine Lights, Hubby Jenkins and Alela Diane, on this week’s encore episode of Mountain Stage.
Find out where and when to listen on a station near you, and stay tuned for premiere episodes beginning September 6.
