Emmy-winning actor Jeff Daniels is also an accomplished singer, songwriter and guitarist, who recently appeared on Mountain Stage along with the Ben Daniels Band, led by his son Ben, which also includes Jeff’s daughter Amanda.
In keeping with the family theme, the elder Daniels wrote this week’s Song of the Week by putting some advice from his father into a song, “Good On the Bad Side of Town.”
You can watch a video version of our Song of the Week over on our VuHaus Channel.
You’ll hear the entire set from Jeff Daniels & the Ben Daniels Band, as well as performances from Dawn Landes, Lucy Wainwright Roche, The Handsome Family and Kevin Gordon, on this week’s encore episode of Mountain Stage.

Jeff Daniels will bring his humorous, observational songs to Mountain Stage on Sunday, July 29 along with the Ben Daniels Band.
On Sunday, July 29 we welcome back singer, songwriter, guitarist- oh yeah and Emmy award winning actor- Jeff Daniels, along with the Ben Daniels Band. The BDB is led by Jeff’s son, and the group is embarking on their “Acoustic Sittin’ Tour,” which is also a newly released album.
We’ve also confirmed Dawn Landes for July 29. She recently did her first record in Nashville, called “Meet Me At The River,” and has moved from New York to Music City. The album, due later this year, features our friend and West Virginia Music Hall of Fame member Charlie McCoy on harmonica!
Dawn Landes will join us Sunday July 29 in Charleston, WV. Tickets are on sale now to our Members.
Landes is beloved collaborator, having done work in recent years with Sufjan Stevens, Justin Townes Earle, Jim James and Piers Faccini, and she has a sweet, heartfelt cover of Tom Petty’s “I Won’t Back Down,” which we shared below.
The Handsome Family will appear on Mountain Stage Sunday, July 29 in Charleston, WV. Tickets are on sale now.
We’re pleased to announce that The Handsome Family has been added to the July 29 show. During their 25-year career Brett and Rennie Sparks have created songs that transform the mundane landscape of modern life. Their work has been covered by the likes of Jeff Tweedy, Jason Lytle and Andrew Bird, who released an entire record of songs by the Handsome Family.
Both July shows are at the Culture Center Theater on the State Capitol Grounds. All tickets are general admission, $20 in advance, $35 on Day of Show, when available. Tickets are available online, by phone at 877.987.6487 and at Taylor Books.
