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.

Mountain Stage is pleased to welcome Grammy winner, and West Virginia native, Kathy Mattea as its next special guest-host.  Mattea will fill in for Larry Groce when the show records episode #917 on Sunday, March 4 at the Culture Center Theater.

Mattea has been a long-time friend of Mountain Stage, appearing on the show 24 times since 1985. Mattea’s career includes four #1 Billboard Country songs, two CMA Female Vocalist of the Year awards, and two Grammys. She was inducted into the West Virginia Music Hall of Fame in 2011. The first guest artist scheduled to appear March 4 is the Seamus Egan Project, the latest collaborative outfit from Solas founding member and influential traditional Irish musician Seamus Eagan. Solas has  made nine appearances on Mountain Stage since 1995.

On Sunday March 18 Larry Groce will return as Mountain Stage brings music from abroad to the Mountain State. Tal National, a group of rockers from West Africa returning to the US to support their upcoming album “Tantabara” will join us for the first time. More international flare on March 18 will be provided by Calan, an exciting group of five young traditional Welsh musicians. Their unique instrumentation blends fiddles, whistles, guitar and bagpipes with an award-winning champion clogger. The group wowed the audience at a  FOOTMAD concert last October and Mountain Stage is excited to welcome them back to West Virginia.

Sunday March 25 will welcome Lee Ann Womack, one of the most distinct and admired voices in Americana Music, for her second appearance on Mountain Stage. Womack’s latest is “The Lonley, The Lonesome & The Gone” which Rolling Stone Country named one of the 40 Best Country and Americana Albums of 2017. Also scheduled to appear is Inara George, whose varied “extracurricular activities” include work with Foo Fighters, Jason Mraz, Van Dyke Parks, Mandy Moore and many others. Her solo output continues to grow with her fourth album “Dearest Everybody,” due for release on January 19. Listen to “Release Me” via the Bluegrass Situation, and pre-order “Dearest Everybody” via Amazon.

Finally, on Sunday April 15 we welcome singer-songwriter, producer and in-demand collaborator M. Ward to Mountain Stage for the first time. M. Ward released his eighth album “More Rain” on Merge records in 2016, which Jason Heller at NPR called “more of a mood piece, an overcast state of mind translated into easygoing melody and an underpinning of dusty Americana and late-’60s/early-’70s AM radio.”

Tickets for April 15 are $30 in advance and $35 day of show, available online now to Mountain Stage Members and via all outlets on Friday January 19 at 10a.m.
