Beloved singer and songwriter Shawn Colvin will be celebrating the 30th 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.

Also appearing on September 22 will be the incredible Patty Griffin. She just released her latest, self-titled album in March. The songs on Patty Griffin come from a deeply personal perspective as you can hear in her recent World Café session, a highly recommended listen.
