Mountain Stage hosted by Kathy Mattea, A Fundraising Event for WMRA Radio

For nearly 40 years, Mountain Stage has been the home of live music on public radio. Produced by West Virginia Public Broadcasting and hosted by Kathy Mattea, each two-hour episode can be heard weekly, Sunday night at 8 pm on WMRA, in addition to being broadcast on more than 280 stations across America and worldwide via NPR Music. Recorded in front of a live audience, this event features four world-renowned headliners (and more guests TBA) including Ireland’s folk and traditional music legend Karan Casey, a solo artist and founding member of the band Solas whose voice has lit up stages across the globe for 25 years; the U.K.-based retro-inspired rock band The Heavy Heavy, known for its soaring harmonies and tight rhythm section; Nashville-based Nigerian American singer-songwriter Joy Oladokun, whose R&B, pop and folk tunes have energized legions of fans; and singer-songwriter Michaela Anne, whose style recalls vintage Nashville sounds and California country-rock of the ‘70s.
