June will be a busy month for music lovers as Mountain Stage has scheduled three live tapings in Charleston, W.Va. that will be worth planning a trip for. Tickets for all three shows are on sale now to Mountain Stage Members. Not a member? Click here to find out more, choose a level and sign-up. All shows will be at the Culture Center Theater on the State Capitol Grounds- Greenbrier & Washington Streets in Charleston, W.Va.
Before we get to the rest of the good news, remember that tickets are on sale TODAY, online and at Taylor Books, for our recently announced May 19 show in Charleston with Tank and the Bangas and Adia Victoria. Tickets can be found here.
On Sunday, June 9 Mountain Stage welcomes back the charming folk duo Kenneth Pattengale and Joey Ryan, The Milk Carton Kids. Since we first worked with them in 2011, The Milk Carton Kids have become a beloved part of the Americana music scene thanks to compelling songwriting and their humorous on-stage rapport. Their latest is All the Things That I Did and All the Things That I Didn’t Do.
Also scheduled to appear on June 9 is journeyman songwriter Steve Poltz. Each of Poltz’ previous appearances have been legendary in their own right, so we can’t wait to see what he has in store for us this time.
On Sunday, June 23 Mountain Stage will record the first of two episodes to take place during this year’s 15th Anniversary of FestivALL Charleston. From June 16-30 our hometown becomes a work of art during the 15 days of this multi-faceted arts festival. We’ll welcome atmospheric singer and songwriter Damien Jurado, whose new album In The Shape Of A Storm is due April 12 from Mama Bird Recording Company.
Also appearing June 23 is folk-rocker Vanessa Peters, a versatile performer and a world-traveling artist, who receives universal praise for the depth of her songwriting and her engaging live performances.
More artists will be added to the bill very soon.

Mountain Stage will be the capstone event of FestivALL as we close out the festivities on Sunday, June 30 at the Culture Center with a return appearance by the John Pizzarelli Trio. Any lover of classic jazz and hot guitar is a fan of Pizzarelli. This year he’s celebrating with For Centennial Reasons: 100 Year Salute to Nat King Cole, a tribute to the legendary Nat King Cole, who has been Pizzarelli’s hero and foundation over the last 25 years.
