Lead by songwriter M.C. Taylor, Hiss Golden Messenger has created a name for themselves primarily in the Americana folk genre but offer sounds pulled from a multitude of influences. The band’s first appearance on the show was back in 2014, which you can hear a bit of bellow.
Kris Delmhorst‘s most recent release, The Wild, allows us to dive into the artists’ eclectic taste and poetic songwriting. Watch her video for “All The Way Around” now.
Throughout her rising career, Nicki Bluhm has delved into an impressive lineup of collaborations which include Phil Lesh, Ryan Adams, and The Infamous Stringdusters. Her new album “To Rise You Gotta Fall” was done in Memphis, and it sounds like Memphis!

Teddy Thompson joins us July 15th in Charleston, WV.
Based out of Beckley, WV, The Parachute Brigade have recently released The Gold EP, a collection of songs showcasing their expansive sound, their thoughtful songwriting and tight harmony.
Since her estate made the announcement of her passing on Aug. 25, grieving fans have written tributes and fond remembrances. Mountain Stage Host and fellow country music star Kathy Mattea, who has spent a little time with Dolly, shared a few memories with Inside Appalachia Host Mason Adams.
On this West Virginia Week, a second data center is coming to Mason County, the Rural Health Transformation Program Funds are beginning to be distributed in the state, and remembering Dolly Parton.
This week, we remember the one and only Dolly Parton. Dolly used her musical success to help others. She started the Imagination Library, a free book program for children that included some of her favorites, like the "Little Engine that Could." And, Dolly’s kindness touched people from all walks of life.
We remember Dolly Parton, not just as a musician and celebrity, but as a voice for Appalachian humor, resilience and kindness. Inside Appalachia’s Mason Adams spoke with Mountain Stage host and country star Kathy Mattea, who shares some of her memories.
