Mountain Stage After Midnight: John Gorka, LOW, Trampled by Turtles

To say that Mountain Stage is excited about returning to Grand Marais this September? Total. Understatement.

In honor of our upcoming Minnesota trip, this weekend’s #MSAM takes place at the North House Folk School.

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 32 year history and shares their memories and songs with our late-night listeners.

Join us this Saturday August 22 and Sunday August 23 for Mountain Stage After Midnight, where we’ll hear…
