On this week’s encore broadcast of Mountain Stage, you’ll hear performances from Bettye LaVette, Kim Richey, Keller Williams, The Langan Band, and Megan Jean’s Secret Family. This episode was recorded live at the Templeton-Blackburn Alumni Memorial Auditorium in Athens, Ohio with our friends at Ohio University and WOUB.
Our Song of the Week comes from Ohio University alum and Nashville singer-songwriter Kim Richey. Making her seventh appearance on the show in the town where she attended college, Richey performed the emotionally appropriate “A Place Called Home,” which appeared on her 2002 album Rise.
