Our Song of the Week is a modern-day blues original by the incomparable Adia Victoria.
Building on a deep, intense bass and drum groove, complemented by horns and keys, Adia Victoria cuts through the fuzz with a gripping vocal performance of “Different Kind of Love,” our Song of the Week.
Between the world and me Tell me, what will it be? Who do you love? Tell me, who do you love? -Adia Victoria's "Different Kind of Love"
“Different Kind of Love” appears on Victoria’s 2019 release Silences, which was produced by Aaron Dessner of The National.
Tune in to this week’s encore episode of Mountain Stage on your favorite NPR station to hear the entire set from Adia Victoria, plus live performances by New Orleans’ hybrid-funk band Tank and the Bangas, Canadian rockers The Trews, and singer-songwriters Justin Townes Earle and Courtney Marie Andrews.

We’ve added Steve Earle & The Dukes to the line-up on Sunday, June 23- on our first of two shows during FestivALL Charleston. Earle just released Guy, a tribute to the legendary songwriter Guy Clark, who made many appearances on Mountain Stage. They were on the show together in August of 1996 when Earle made his first appearance. Earle is one of our favorite performers and songwriters, so we couldn’t wait to invite him back, especially since he’s paying tribute to another of our favorite performers and songwriters.
Already announced for June 23 are Damien Jurado and Vanessa Peters. Tickets are available online and locally at Taylor Books in Downtown, Charleston.
Review our entire live-show here, and make plans to be a part of our radio audience, but hurry because all these shows are potential sell-outs.
