Beloved singer and songwriter Shawn Colvin will be celebrating the 30^th Anniversary of her 1989 debut album “Steady On” as she returns for an intimate solo performance on Mountain Stage Sunday, September 15. That classic album featured vocals by long-time Mountain Stage favorite Lucy Kaplansky, who recently released her first new album in six years, Everyday Street. That release features a guest-spot from, you guessed it, Shawn Colvin, so we couldn’t be happier to welcome these “https://youtu.be/xWUheGc2x-g”>Old Friends” back to West Virginia on the same show.

Adding to the excitement on September 15 is the first appearance by genre-bending songwriter Rebecca Loebe, whose latest release Give Up Your Ghosts features the single “Popular,” which you hear in the new video below.
