THIS SUNDAY: NRBQ, Kat Edmonson, Lindsay Lou on Mountain Stage.

Mountain Stage with Larry Groce is about to get back into their schedule of live performances in Charleston, WV, starting this Sunday May 13 at the Culture Center Theater.

Tickets are still available online and at Taylor Books in downtown, Charleston.

This Sunday Larry will welcome back the long standing pure rock and roll rollers NRBQ, featuring pianist Terry Adams, for what is sure to be another unforgettable performance. The band has made five appearances on Mountain Stage, starting in 1988, and were the subject of a CD “Live From Mountain Stage” which you can still listen to on Spotify. The band re-issued its self-titled 1968 debut on CD and Vinyl this March and they released a five-song EP, “https://youtu.be/XnBYByM_PAU”>Happy Talk,” last October.

We’re excited to welcome back Kat Edmonson for her third appearance. Edmonson released “Old Fashioned Gal” on April 27. Her spellbinding voice and jazzy pop songs are prevalent in the title track, which was named to NPR’s “Songs We Love” by WBGO’s Nate Chinen.

Lindsay Lou first charmed our audiences in December of 2015 when she appeared on our 32^nd anniversary show as the leader of Lindsay Lou and the Flatbellys. She is back with a new record called “Southland,” a Pledge Music funded project, that is filled with rootsy, groove-filled hooks and her unmistakable voice. We’re excited to see and hear Lindsay Lou and her band live again.

The duo of Andrew Morris and Julie Bates make up The Matchsellers, who will join us for the first time this Sunday. They released “Bluegrastronauts” in March, which the band calls “old-time in outer space.” Recorded over two weeks in Springfield, MO, “Bluegrasstronauts” features Chad Graves of the Hillbenders on dobro and Betsey Beymer on bass and vocals. The quartet will join us with their “songs steeped in tradition and melody with an interstellar amount of creativity.”
