Listen: Jeff Daniels & the Ben Daniels Band on Mountain Stage
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.

Mountain Stage's Favorite Performances of 2016
2016 was a big year for NPR Music and West Virginia Public Broadcasting‘s Mountain Stage. We celebrated 33 years of live performance radio, commemorated the 25th anniversary of R.E.M.’s legendary set, and listened to the voices of two new guest hosts.
And across seven venues in four states, we recorded over 120 live sets that showcased the best and brightest musicians in the world today. Along the way, we video streamed eight of our shows through VuHaus and made some new #gotowv friends along the way (with posters and glass records in tow!). Of course, none of this would have happened without your support.
Before we embark on another musical year around the sun, Larry Groce and the Mountain Stage crew have picked out 33 performances that deserve another listen and another round of applause. From A to Z, these are our favorite Mountain Stage performances of 2016. (Hint: click the Episode # for their Mountain Stage podcast episode, where available.)

Mountain Stage THIS SUNDAY: What You Need To Know
Do you have a ticket for THIS SUNDAY’s live Mountain Stage in Charleston with Lake Street Dive, Seratones, Royal Wood, Lucy Wainwright Roche & Suzzy Roche and My Bubba? If you do, you’re in for a treat. If you don’t, you better hurry. As of this writing less than 60 tickets remain, available at The Clay Center Box Office, 304.561.3570, or HERE.
Since this show is a little different than our “home shows” at the Culture Center, here are a few tips for this Sunday.
–Where Do I Enter? First of all, there is plenty of parking nearby, including the Clay Center’s reasonably priced event parking on Washington Street. Use the main entrance to the Clay Center. The box office will open at 5p.m. for will-call tickets, and the grand lobby will open at 6p.m. We’ll have merchandise and, yes, a bartender on site. A lot of on-stage presentations ask attendees to enter through the Walker Theater (off Brooks Street) but not this time. We want lots of elbow room while you’re picking out your merchandise.
–What’s this “On-Stage Seating” all about? We hope our guest-artists aren’t creeped out by our frequent use of the word “intimate” in describing this show. Take a look at the photo above. Your seats are literally ON-STAGE at the Clay Center. It’s still general admission, so arrive early to be first to enter when seating begins at 6:30pm. The Clay Center’s lovely team of volunteer ushers will be on hand to help guide you and answer questions, including help with handicap accessible seating.
–What else is different? Not much. The show will still go about 2.5 hours, will still feature five guests, and there will be no intermission (refreshment sales end after the show starts). Our singer Julie Adams is out of town, so Larry Groce and his wife Sandra will be doing a tune from LG’s new record “Live Forever.” Those of you in attendance will also get the first chance to purchase tickets to our unannounced July 24 show in Charleston.
Summer is here, and Mountain Stage is excited for all the great music happening in Charleston and beyond. Check out our Live Show Schedule, sign-up for our e-mail newsletter so you can be first to know about new shows, and be sure to join us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram for behind-the-scenes glimpses and updates on show-day.
Mountain Stage After Midnight: Billy Bragg, Joe Pug, Amy Speace
It’s National Pizza Party Day this weekend (seriously), so why not grab a pie, a pal and a Pug (acoustic rocker Joe Pug, to be exact) for Mountain Stage After Midnight.
Broadcast from 1am-5am Saturday and Sunday mornings here on West Virginia Public Broadcasting, Mountain Stage After Midnight takes the best episodes from the show’s 31 year history and shares their memories and songs with our late-night listeners.
Pair your pizza with some archived tunes Saturday May 15 and Sunday May 16 on Mountain Stage After Midnight.
Hear an April 2013 show recorded on the campus of West Virginia University, featuring Billy Bragg, The Flatlanders, Joe Pug (isn’t his new record dreamy?), Amy Speace and Suzzy & Lucy Wainwright Roche.

We also have a February 2009 show that includes Dierks Bentley, Jessica Lea Mayfield (have you heard her recent collab with Seth Avett?), Regan Boggs, Grayson Capps and Andy Driedman & the Other Failures.
Still hungry for more Mountain Stage? If you’re in the Philly area, keep an eye out for Larry and the Mountain Stage crew at WXPN’s Non-Commvention. If you’re not in the Philly area, you can still keep an ear out for Mountain Stage sets on our 24/7 Mountain Stage stream (made possible by your support!). Connect with the show and check out our show shenanigans on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram. Join our monthly email newsletter for up-to-the-minute show announcements and ticket deals. And if Mountain Stage isn’t available in your neck of the woods, contact your public radio station and let them know that you’re hanker’n for Mountain Stage and great live performances.
