Throughout the course of the year, West Virginia Public Broadcasting reporters and producers may create hundreds of stories. But some are favorites. We remember the story behind the story.

Two Mountain Stage events in Charleston this October are on sale to the public now.
Last week we announced that Mountain Stage will welcome Tony winner and West Virginia native Michael Cerveris as special guest-host on October 22 when the show is part of FestivALL Fall.
We’re excited to announce that Emily Saliers, well known as one-half of the Indigo Girls, will make her first solo appearance on Mountain Stage October 22 in support of “Murmuration Nation,” her first release under her own name, due for release on August 11. Click to pre-order.
“It was so freeing to pursue the kind of music I truly wanted to make without regard to what I’d done before or who I’m expected to be,” says Saliers. “I hope that this record can take people who think they know me already on a journey that’ll really surprise them.”
This show is also on sale to the public now. You can click here, call 877.987.6487, or stop by Taylor Books in downtown Charleston. Tickets are only $20 until August 31, at which point they will be $30.
Also appearing is the indie-pop duo Overcoats, who we first met in 2016 when they made their first appearance on Mountain Stage. You can hear their set via NPR Music and watch some of it courtesy of our VuHaus Channel.
On-line sales began today for Sunday, October 8 when Larry Groce welcomes The Drive-By Truckers, Paul Kelly and Daniel Norgren to The Clay Center. Tickets are available now online, and available by phone- 304-561-3570- or box office walk-up, starting Monday, July 31.

Our Song of the Week comes from The Critton Hollow String Band, a band that has been performing traditional American music to audiences around the world since 1975. The trio stopped by Mountain Stage during their 50th anniversary and performed a handful of songs, including "A Better Life to Find," which is our Song of the Week. The song features an old melody and a traditional refrain, with lyrics updated by the group's Joe Herrmann.
On this week’s encore broadcast of Mountain Stage, we revisit the first of two 41st anniversary shows, which were recorded at the Culture Center Theater in Charleston, West Virginia in December 2024.
