Mountain Stage with Larry Groce will record episode #951 this Sunday, August 4 in Charleston, WV at our home in the Culture Center Theater. We have a five-star line-up, arguably as good as anything happening anywhere in the country.
Tickets are available online and at Taylor Books, but don’t wait around until show-day because sales are picking up. There’s nothing like being there, so be sure to RSVP on Facebook and feel free to invite a friend!
The Grammy award winning first family of the banjo, Bela Fleck & Abigail Washburn, will make their fourth appearance as a duo this Sunday on Mountain Stage with songs from their acclaimed release Echo in the Valley.

Bela and Abi have been appearing on Mountain Stage throughout their careers. Fleck first appeared in 1989 as member of New Grass Revival and has joined us with just about every configuration he’s masterminded. Abigail Washburn first appeared on Mountain Stage as a solo artist in 2005, then as a member of Uncle Earl in 2007, and with her Sparrow Quartet twice, in 2006 and 2008. She brought a quartet on the show in 2010 to support her brilliant record City of Refuge.
Singer-songwriter and folk rocker Chris Knight will return to Mountain Stage with songs from his highly anticipated release, ALMOST DAYLIGHT, due on October 11. It will mark Knight’s first release in seven years, however his influence can be heard in the music of folks like Tyler Childers, Colter Wall and Kelsey Waldon, among many others. He joins us for the third time this Sunday.
“The Ice Queen is on Fire!” were the words the Austin Chronicle used when describing Sue Foley. The Austin based blues guitarist is a highlight at any festival, including Ottawa Bluesfest, Montreal Jazz Festival and the Lonestar Blues Festival. Later this year she’ll tour France, Belgium and Denmark. She makes her fourth appearance on Mountain Stage this Sunday, with songs from The Ice Queen.
Progressive Western Swing is the style of Grace, Sophia, and Hulda, The Quebe Sisters. This trio of fiddling singers have 15 years of touring experience under their belts. The sisters will be opening shows for Asleep at the Wheel later this year, including a stop at the Peoples Bank Theatre, and in February of 2020 they’ll hop aboard the Cayamo Cruise.
Adaptations is the first solo record from Maya de Vitry following her output as a member of roots trio The Stray Birds, who appeared on Mountain Stage three times since 2013. Lindsay Lou, Courtney Hartman, and Oliver Wood were among the roots music luminaries to offer their talents to Adaptations, which was released in January of 2019.
As of this posting tickets are still available online and at Taylor Books in downtown Charleston. Tickets are $30, or $35 on show day (when available).
Mountain Stage Members get early online access to tickets before they go on sale to the general public. Click here to read more about our levels of Mountain Stage Membership, and consider making a sustaining gift to support our live performance radio show from the Mountain State of West Virginia.
