Original Post (edited):

This Sunday, June 3rd, Mountain Stage welcomes Lee Ann Womack to the Culture Center Theater, along with Caitlyn Smith, The Travelin’ McCourys, Haley Heynderickx, and Anthony da Costa. Doors open at 6:30 pm and the show starts at 7:00 pm. 

There are still tickets available at $20 in advance or $35 day of show. You can purchase them online or locally at Taylor Books, located on Capitol Street in downtown Charleston. 

Lee Ann Womack’s most recent album, The Lonely, The Lonesome, & The Gone, was recorded in Houston at SugarHill Recording Studios and produced by her husband, Frank Liddell. A showcase of her love for rootsy music, the album brings together sounds of country, soul, gospel, and blues.

Caitlyn Smith has a busy weekend on her hands as she opens for Tim McGraw and Faith Hill at the Charleston Civic Center on Friday night before joining us on Sunday. In recent years Smith has become a thriving songwriter with her songs being recorded by the likes of James Bay, Garth Brooks, Dolly Parton, and John Legend. Now, she takes the stage on her own with her recently released her album Starfire.

The Travelin’ McCourys, know a thing or two about bluegrass. As the sons of legend, Del McCoury, Ronnie and Rob bring along their well-versed abilities and tie them in with that of fiddler Jason Carter and bassist Alan Bartram, to create something that lovers of bluegrass appreciate to its core. The McCoury family was recently featured on NPR’s Weekend Edition Sunday.

Hailing from Portland, Oregon, Haley Heynderickx has been taking over after being named an NPR Music Slingshot Artist for 2018 at the beginning of this year. In March, she released her expressive album I Need to Start a Garden and has been touring throughout the US.

We’ll also be welcoming Anthony Da Costa, who presents his songwriting abilities on his 2017 album da Costa Deluxe. Anthony is a veteran touring guitarist who has appeared on Mountain Stage with several different artists, but we’re excited to have him perform a set of his own material for the first time.

If there’s one thing for sure, this show is going to be a stacked collection of talent that you won’t want to miss. Our radio audience will hear this show starting September 7 on over 200 NPR Stations.

Advance tickets are available online, at Taylor Books in downtown Charleston or by phone at 877.987.6487.

Live Show News: The Wood Brothers, Todd Snider added to June 24.

On Sunday June 24 Mountain Stage will once again be a part of FestivALL Charleston, the city-wide celebration of the arts in our hometown of Charleston, WV. Iconic songwriters Dave Alvin & Jimmie Dale Gilmore, and Vermont’s emerging soul-music star Kat Wright, have already been announced. Today we’re adding the next round of artists, and our next guest-host.

The Wood Brothers, who released “One Drop of Truth” in February, will return for their third appearance on Mountain Stage on June 24. Also, just announced, our favorite bare-foot and folk-singing hippie, author and jam band singer Todd Snider will return to Mountain Stage as well. By our best estimate, this will make Todd’s 15th appearance on the show since 1995.

Peter Mulvey will guest-host Mountain Stage on Sunday, June 24 during FestivALL Charleston.

We’re excited to announce that singer, songwriter and guitarist Peter Mulvey will be stepping up to the microphone as our special guest-host. Mulvey has a recurring gig at the National Youth Science Camp, located in West Virginia, which led to a spoken word piece, “Vlad the Astrophysicist”, which became aTEDx talk, and then an illustrated book. Mulvey performed “Vlad” when he made his most recent appearance on Mountain Stage last September in Morgantown, WV.

Tickets for this show are already available online, by phone at 877.987.6487 or locally at Taylor Books in Downtown Charleston. This show will likely sell out, so we recommend getting your tickets soon.

Caitlyn Smith’s debut album is called “Starfire.” She joins us on Mountain Stage Sunday June 3

Elsewhere, we’ve added songwriter Caitlyn Smith and #NPRSlingshot artist Haley Heynderickx to the line-up for Sunday June 3, alongside Lee Ann Womack. Tickets for that event are on sale, and already selling well.

Smith is breaking out on her own with her debut album called “Starfire,”after having cuts recorded by Garth Brooks and Meghan Trainor. She will join us just two days after opening for Tim McGraw & Faith Hill at the nearby Charleston Civic Center.
