Live Show News: Bottle Rockets, Amy Helm and More on Mountain Stage October 21.

As summer slowly winds down, Mountain Stage is making plans for the Fall with another new live show just announced for Sunday, October 21 in Charleston, W.Va.

Once again Mountain Stage with Larry Groce will be a part of FestivALL Fall, the seasonal celebration of the arts here in our hometown, when we record at the Culture Center Theater with some long-time friends. With a new album due later this year, veteran alt-rockers The Bottle Rockets will return for their eighth  appearance on Mountain Stage since 1995.

We’ll also welcome back Amy Helm and her band for their second appearance, with songs from her critically acclaimed, Joe Henry-produced album “This Too Shall Light”. We first worked with Amy when Ollabelle made their first of three appearances on Mountain Stage in 2004. You can hear the title track via Rolling Stone Country and see a “making of” clip below.               

John R. Miller & The Engine Lights will appear on Mountain Stage Sunday October 21 in Charleston, WV.

While he’s no stranger to our show, having made two appearances as a member of old-time string band The Fox Hunt, John R. Miller will front his own band The Engine Lights when they appear October 21 with songs from the highly anticipated release “The Trouble You Follow” (Due August 31). John has played music all over the world with different groups, and we’re glad he’s finally able to release a record of his gritty, salt-of the-earth folk rockers.
