SUMMARY:The Oak Ridge Boys
DESCRIPTION:Theirs is one of the most distinctive and recognizable sounds in the music industry. The four-part harmonies and upbeat songs of The Oak Ridge Boys have spawned dozens of Country hits and a Number One Pop smash\, earned them Grammy\, Dove\, CMA\, and ACM awards\, and garnered a host of other industry and fan accolades. Every time they step before an audience\, the Oaks bring four decades of charted singles\, and 50 years of tradition\, to a stage show widely acknowledged as among the most exciting anywhere. And each remains as enthusiastic about the process as they have ever been. \n“When I go on stage\, I get the same feeling I had the first time I sang with The Oak Ridge Boys\,” says lead singer Duane Allen. “This is the only job I’ve ever wanted to have.” \n“Like everyone else in the group\,” adds bass singer extraordinaire Richard Sterban\, “I was a fan of the Oaks before I became a member. I’m still a fan of the group today. Being in The Oak Ridge Boys is the fulfillment of a lifelong dream.” \nThe two\, along with tenor Joe Bonsall and baritone William Lee Golden\, comprise one of Country’s truly legendary acts. Their string of hits includes the Country-Pop chart-topper Elvira\, as well as Bobbie Sue\, Dream On\, Thank God For Kids\, American Made\, I Guess It Never Hurts To Hurt Sometimes\, Fancy Free\, Gonna Take A Lot Of River\, and many others. In 2009\, they covered a White Stripes song\, receiving accolades from Rock reviewers. In 2011\, they rerecorded a thirtieth-anniversary version of Elvira for a Cracker Barrel Old Country Store project.  \nThe group has scored 12 gold\, three platinum\, and one double platinum album—plus one double platinum single—and had more than a dozen national Number One singles and over 30 Top Ten hits. \nEnjoy all of our upcoming performances on our new Byrider Stage!

SUMMARY:5Point Adventure Film Festival On The Road
DESCRIPTION:Join us for The Best Of The Flagship Festival! \nFrom the 5PT Adventure Film Festival: \nWe believe that communities are made better when their people pursue adventure and intentionally live their own best stories. That’s why 5Point travels year-round with a selection of the best films from the annual Carbondale festival. Shows are hosted by a variety of organizations\, corporations\, non-profits\, and venues. The intention is to hand our best 5Point films over to these organizations and empower them to host their own show and help bring their community together over an evening of impactful and fun adventure films. \nWe believe the power of film is magnified when a group experiences meaningful stories together. We laugh\, cry\, cheer\, learn\, and explore the world together – and that’s the power of a 5Point show. \nThis event features a 91-minute reel of curated 5Point films. It’s full of inspiration\, adrenaline\, emotion\, and classic 5Point stories. \nFilm Lineup\nTRANSITION \nAfter several years on the freestyle ski cup circuit\, in 2022 Ben decides to take a new turn and a new career start\, Transition. \nLOVE \nAfter a miscarriage and a historic ascent of the famous sport climb Dreamcatcher\, Paige Claassen follows her own path as a professional athlete training through pregnancy\, finding new meaning in strength and identity through the early days of motherhood. \nCREATION THEORY \nWhat is the source of creation? Whether it’s the grandest cosmos or the smallest human idea\, true creation arrives in moments of unexpected convergence— extraordinary synchronicities between space and time\, science and art\, music and mountains and sea. In Creation Theory\, these raw elements converge in the Westfjords of Iceland\, taking us on a journey from the interstellar birth of gravity and rhythm\, to their ultimate human creative expression: surfer on wave\, snowboarder on peak\, and musician on stage. \nFLIP THE SWITCH \nIf you don’t have role models to look up to\, it’s harder to progress as a rider. Georgia Astle grew up chasing her older brother. But when she looked beyond racing\, there weren’t a lot of women pushing the limits of freeride. Until all of a sudden\, there was. \nPROLYFYCK \nTheir route is uphill by design. Through the language of running\, Prolyfyck Run Creww is creating a safe space where Black runners can see themselves represented\, and all runners are welcome\, in Charlottesville\, VA. \nRISE \nRise – A short mountain bike film showcasing 17-year-old Kaidan Ingersoll from North Yarmouth\, Maine. \nTO BE FRANK \nTo Be Frank pivots from social media’s lens and explores authenticity and community in surfing via Frank Paine\, a 73-year-old South Bay icon and humble local legend whose life orbits around a two-block stretch of beach. His unforgettable mustache and magnetic spirit are what most notice first\, but Frank’s deeper layers expose a depth that might answer some questions that we surfers continually ask ourselves. \nMALIK \nA chance encounter changes the course of two men\, Malik Martin\, and Conrad Anker\, to where they find a unique kinship and understanding forged in climbing. \nAFTER YOU’VE GONE \nRachel Finn grapples with life after loss. Showcasing an inspiring perspective on moving forward through trauma in an unapologetically true-to-herself way that brings a smile to everyone who crosses her path. Oh\, and she catches some big F&#@ING fish. \n  \nEnjoy all of our upcoming performances on our new Byrider Stage!

SUMMARY:The CALT Sessions: Hilarie Burhans
DESCRIPTION:Happening inside The Stage Door at 224 Putnam Street in Marietta.\nDoors open at 6:30 pm.\nThis project is made possible through the Central Appalachia Living Traditions Folk & Traditional Arts Experiences program of Mid Atlantic Arts.  \nHilarie Burhans has been playing clawhammer-style banjo for 50 years. She is passionate about passing on what she has learned to others\, and thanks to new online platforms\, she now has students all over the world. With her band\, the Hotpoint Stringband\, she built on her foundation of Appalachian reels and hoedown tunes to become one of the leading contemporary American contradance bands in North America. \nFrom Hilarie Burhans: \nI’ve been playing and teaching my driving clawhammer banjo style for more than 45 years.  I’m the co-founder of the nationally-touring Hotpoint Stringband\, with whom I have recorded five albums\, and I’ve collaborated on too many other musical projects to count. A track from my solo CD was featured on an episode of the acclaimed HBO series Deadwood. Well over 5000 subscribers enjoy my YouTube banjo channel\, and my banjo instructional Patreon has more than 500 paid subscribers.  In my younger days\,  I won the Ohio State Banjo Contest nine times\, and am very proud to have placed in the contests at the Appalachian Stringband Festival (Clifftop) a number of times (3rd in Banjo\, and First Place in both the Traditional Band and NeoTraditional Band contests.) \nI love teaching banjo\, and especially love working with beginners and with folks making the transition from learning note-by-note from an instructor or tablature to learning tunes from recordings or “on the fly” at jams.  Check out my lessons page for more info. \nI live in Athens\, Ohio\, and am lucky to be the wife of a fiddler (Mark Burhans) and also the mother of a fiddler (Ry Burhans.) I grew up in Arizona\, Wisconsin\, Karachi in Pakistan\, Massachusetts\, Addis Ababa in Ethiopia\, and then\, after 9th grade\, moved to the college town Athens in the Appalachian part of Ohio. I feel deeply rooted here but have not lost my love for travel\, and have dragged a banjo with me to India\, Nepal\, Australia\, Costa Rica\, Portugal\, England\, France\, and Germany\, and have taught banjo workshops in many of those countries.  \n \nThe CALT Sessions (An Appalachian Music Series)\nGrammy Winners\, WV Music Hall of Fame Inductees\, and regional heroes will join us this summer for this entertaining and informative new series made possible by Central Appalachia Living Traditions (CALT) and the Mid Atlantic Arts!  \nThe artists will discuss how Appalachian traditional music and culture have influenced their contemporary works. All the artists will be performing and taking questions from attendees.  \nThe series will take place inside The Stage Door at 224 Putnam Street in Marietta\, in a close\, intimate environment. The events will be free to the public\, but you must have a ticket. Tickets will be released online two days before each event.

SUMMARY:Kenny G
DESCRIPTION:The sound of Kenny G’s saxophone is as iconic as his curly coif; indeed\, both are instantly recognizable. His latest release\, New Standards\, the title of his 19th studio album\, fifth for Concord Records and first since 2015’s Brazilian Nights\, could well be used to describe his four-decade body of work\, a vision of jazz that helped launch both a musical genre and radio format. After director Penny Lane’s critically acclaimed HBO documentary\, Listening to Kenny G – which humorously reconsiders the purist critical backlash to his music – and a demand performance on Kanye West’s Grammy-winning Jesus Is King album\, it’s now cool to not only be Kenny G\, but admit you’re a fan of his as well. \n“I didn’t realize how strong the message was until I saw the finished film\,” says Kenny\, who has both the best-selling instrumental album of all time in the Diamond-selling\, 12-times-platinum 1992 Breathless\, earning him his only Grammy Award among 15 nominations\, and the Guinness Book of World Records mark for longest sustained note ever recorded on the saxophone. The feature probes some of the many Kenny G accomplishments\, from his song “Going Home” being used as the official end-of-work-day anthem in China to his skills as a golfer and airline pilot. He was also one of the original 10 investors in his Seattle hometown Starbucks Coffee. \nRecalling his music spawning the “smooth jazz” phenomenon\, Kenny explains\, “I’m proud of the fact it was a new style of music that no one was either playing or writing at the time. And it touched a great many people who weren’t into traditional jazz\, pop or R&B. Somewhere in the middle\, they found something they were looking for and liked.” \nNew Standards continues the musical path that has seen Kenny G sell 75 million albums around the world\, looking back to the classic ‘50s and ‘60s jazz ballads for inspiration\, updating them with new studio technology\, such as the digital ability to piece together songs note by note from different performances. The tracks are almost equally divided between soprano and tenor sax\, with one song\, “Two of a Kind\,” featuring him on both\, duetting with himself\, a slight\, unintended hint of Seals & Crofts’ “Summer Wind” wafting through\, while the wistful\, airy “Moonlight” finds him taking a rare turn on alto sax\, the instrument on which he first learned to play. \n“I wanted to play songs with chord progressions that reflected the classic jazz era of Coltrane\, Charlie Parker\, Sonny Rollins\, Cannonball Adderley and Dexter Gordon\, while doing them my way\, creating new standards\,” he says. \nFor “Legacy\,” he sampled the great Stan Getz playing tenor on a live\, unaccompanied version of “Happy Birthday\,” creating a duet with him on soprano sax. \n“I took those individual notes and turned them into a melody I’m proud of\,” explains Kenny. “I don’t think that’s ever been done before.” \nReminiscent of his global hit duet with a filmed Louis Armstrong on “What a Wonderful World\,” Kenny G expects some jazz buffs night not be happy with his Getz tribute\, even though\, as was the case with the Armstrong song\, he is donating all proceeds to the late musician’s estate and family\, whom Kenny says are delighted with his version. \nKenny performs a sprightly soprano sax on the opening “Emeline\,” named after a close family friend\, while the ultra-romantic “Only You” combines a variety of throwback chord changes with a soaring tenor sax gliding its way on top. \n“Rendezvous” evokes a smoky jazz ballad of the ‘40s with its aching tenor\, the first song Kenny G recorded for the album.“Paris by Night” evokes a foggy night strolling on the bridges across the Seine\, while “Anthem” sports a duet between Kenny G on soprano and cello\, giving the track a hymn-like\, anthemic drive a song Kenny played live with the National Symphony in Nashville in December. \n“Blue Skies” is an airy\, whimsical melody he wrote with piano player Randy Waldman\, a fellow airplane pilot — hence the title — whom he accompanies on soprano sax. “Milestones” offers an homage to classic jazz tropes in name and sound\, while the closing “Waltz in Blue\,” titled for its three-quarter time crossed with a blues beat\, ends the album on a rounded low B-flat\, the perfect answer to the high E which begins the first track\, “Emeline.” \nThe album forms an aural narrative\, which makes it the perfect vehicle to demonstrate to film directors and music supervisors that Kenny G\, the world’s most popular instrumental musician\, is overdue to compose his first movie score. \n“If any director needs a memorable instrumental for their film…” he offers. “I think I’ve proven what I can do.” \nFor the last several years\, Kenny G has taken to the internet with gusto\, his posts becoming memes and going viral\, as he continues to have fun with the whole idea of being his iconic self\, satirized in South Park\, Trolls World Tour (as a frizzy-haired sax player threatens the whole pop music cosmos with his “smooth jazz”) and Saturday Night Live’s Kenan Thompson-hosted “What’s Up With That?” segment\, where Fred Armisen plays a certain frizzy-haired soprano sax player. \n“I don’t know why they just don’t have me do it\,” Kenny G laughs\, perfectly in on the joke. “When I was on the show playing with Foster the People\, I told them\, ‘Hey guys\, I’m right here.’ I can fake playing sax really well.” \nAnd\, as you can hear on the excellent new New Standards\, he does quite fine when he plays for real\, too. \n  \nEnjoy all of our upcoming performances on our new Byrider Stage!\n \n

SUMMARY:Bon Journey
DESCRIPTION:Formed in the spring of 2006 in Pittsburgh\, PA\, Bon Journey was the first band of its kind. Paying tribute to two of the biggest arena rock acts in history\, Bon Jovi and Journey\, they bring you the music of these two giant Rock and Roll Hall of Fame-inducted bands. The band quickly became a staple in the local music scene\, winning awards in 2006\, 2007\, and again in 2020. They then began playing nationally\, hitting city after city. \nThe real Bon Journey is often imitated by other bands\, even claiming to be them; though flattering\, it is a bit confusing. It seems every city they played\, a band copied them or wanted to be them. They are the first and original Bon Journey and the only composed of original members. From the first song they play\, there is a difference: Essentially\, there are four lead singers in one band\, which makes Bon Journey a vocal powerhouse that separates them from most other acts! Not only with the incredible talents of lead singer Gary Bickerstaff\, who has the range and soul of Steve Perry with the stage swagger of Jon Bon Jovi\, but the high harmony and searing guitar of Dan Newman\, the tight bottom end and vocal of bassist Rob Shine\, the smooth voice of keyboardist Matt Friday\, and the bombast of an amazing drummer in Justin Walker. The band delivers a show like no other and fans come in droves and never walk away disappointed! \n  \nEnjoy all of our upcoming performances on our new Byrider Stage!

SUMMARY:Don Felder
DESCRIPTION:Special Co-Production Presented By Par Mar Stores\nNo matter how you look at it\, 2023 is shaping up to be the Year of the Fingers — Don “Fingers” Felder\, that is. Felder\, a true American rock and roll guitar hero\, is very much looking forward to building upon his rich legacy as one of the most innovative riff-generating songwriters of the modern rock era while continuing his growth as a featured touring and recording solo artist. \nTo that end\, Felder finds himself most decidedly back in the driver’s seat with the release of his first solo album in seven years\, American Rock ’N’ Roll (BMG). American Rock ’N’ Roll consists of 11 high-energy rockers mixed with touching\, thoughtful ballads. ARnR also boasts a who’s who of A-list guest contributors including Slash\, Sammy Hagar\, Peter Frampton\, Mick Fleetwood\, Joe Satriani\, Orianthi\, Richie Sambora\, Alex Lifeson\, and many\, many more. \nNot only is Felder a proud\, longstanding member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame\, having been inducted with the Eagles back in 1998\, he was also inaugurated into the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville in 2016 and the Florida Artists Hall of Fame in 2017. Fact is\, Felder spent 27 years with the Eagles\, who own the fine distinction of recording the top-selling album of all time — Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975)\, which has sold over 38 million copies (and counting). “I’m blessed enough to have contributed to and been a part of a very talented mixture of voices\, writing\, guitar parts\, and production. I’m very proud of that\,” he says of the group.  \nDon left the band in 2001 and has since forged an impressive career as a top-tier solo artist with a three fully realized full-length albums as well and several very successful singles for film scores like Heavy Metal\, 1983’s sonically soaring Airborne and 2012’s multifaceted song-cycle treatise\, Road to Forever and American Rock ‘N’ Roll. Felder added “best-selling author” to his impressive C.V. when his spellbinding 2008 memoir\, Heaven and Hell: My Life in the Eagles (1974-2001)\, became an instant New York Times smash bestseller. \nFelder navigated the burgeoning rock scene in his native Gainesville\, Florida\, in the 1960s\, which included a stint teaching guitar to Tom Petty and learning slide guitar from his longtime friend Duane Allman. His matchless lead-guitar tone added extra fuel to Eagles tracks like “Already Gone\,” “One of These Nights\,” “Take It to the Limit\,” and “New Kid in Town\,” in addition to having co-written “Victim of Love\,” “Those Shoes\,” and his most popular co-creation\, “Hotel California.” Felder has also recorded with and performed alongside top-drawer artists such as The Bee Gees\, Michael Jackson\, Alice Cooper\, Warren Zevon\, Barbra Streisand\, Elton John\, Joni Mitchell\, and Stephen Stills\, whom Don first crossed paths in his first band\, The Continentals in Gainesville in the early 1960s.  \nSpending more and more time on the road as the frontman of his own tight-knit solo band made Felder realize he needed to put in the time to hone his own distinctive voice into a finely tuned instrument. “That’s just how I work\,” Don explains. “A lead vocal has to fit the song — it has to fit the timbre and texture of the song. Otherwise\, you’re a one-note samba.” Felder counts extended runs with Foreigner\, Styx\, Peter Frampton’s Guitar Circus\, and REO Speedwagon as touring highlights. \nWhat’s next for Fingers Felder? Extensive touring is most definitely already locked into place to get behind the majestic sounds and broad shoulders of American Rock ’N’ Roll. In the meantime\, let us continue to admire the essence of Don Felder\, a man who continues to push boundaries and expand horizons. It’s the only way that he can travel down that road. \n  \nEnjoy all of our upcoming performances on our new Byrider Stage!

SUMMARY:June First Friday: Joshua Lee & The Nice Dream
DESCRIPTION:This free\, DORA-friendly event will be held on Putnam Street in front of Peoples Bank Theatre. No tickets are necessary to attend. Lawn chairs are welcome! \nAfter 14 years of fifteen-passenger vans\, tour buses\, and side man gigs\, Joshua Lee left Nashville with his young family and headed to West Virginia\, trading screaming fans for screaming kids. After a difficult transition\, Lee nearly left the music life behind entirely\, but he began to write again and\, in doing so\, found his own musical voice. In his old life\, Lee might have sought collaborators to start a band\, but initially having difficulty finding enough like-minded musicians\, he focused instead on discovering himself as a solo artist\, something he’d never tried before. Playing solo shows in the Ohio Valley area led to a new confidence in his ability as a singer-songwriter and to a new group of musical collaborators. \nOn his debut EP\, Promise Land (June 2017)\, Joshua wrestled with questions of loss and cautiously reached for hope rather than despair. Recorded mostly at home\, and self-produced along with Trae Gunter (Randy Montana\, Jacob Thomas Jr.)\, he found himself searching for his own sound by mining the territories of folk rock and heartland rock and blending in synths and ambient guitars. Hints of The National supplement more traditional song forms in the spirit of Ryan Adams and Tom Petty. \nNow based in Marietta\, OH\, Joshua Lee is performing solo and as a full band with The Nice Dream (Shane Henthorne\, Justin Arthur\, Dan Lee\, Vinnie Mele\, and Andy Hall) in the Mid-Ohio Valley region as he’s finishing work on his next project to be released in the summer of 2023. \nThis project is supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts.

SUMMARY:The CALT Sessions: Bob Thompson & Lady D
DESCRIPTION:Happening inside The Stage Door at 224 Putnam Street in Marietta.\nDoors open at 6:30 pm.\nThis project is made possible through the Central Appalachia Living Traditions Folk & Traditional Arts Experiences program of Mid Atlantic Arts.  \nFrom Lady D:  \nI am Lady D! They call me W.Va’s First Lady of Soul. From the age of three\, singing is all that I ever wanted to do. So\, that’s what I did. Like many little black girls\, my first public singing experience was at church. I sang in the gospel choir from the age of seven till I graduated high school. Fun fact: I also sang in a community choir as a teenager that was directed by none other than Bishop T.D. Jakes. I went from the gospel choir to an R&B band and then marriage. This accounted for a major gap in my singing career. Almost twenty years later\, I went back to college and got a bachelor’s degree in Communications. I started my own band and it’s been on ever since. \nIn 2003\, I debuted my original one-woman stage play called “The Lady and the Empress” based on the life and music of blues legend\, Bessie Smith. I recorded the soundtrack for that show\, called “Nobody’s Bizness.” After having formed my band\, MI$$ION\, we went on to perform private parties and events. I recorded five more cds: MY TURN – 2006\, SHE’S NOBODY – 2012\, LADY D’S ROCK ‘N’ BLUES SAMPLER – 2012\, REFLECTIONS – 2014 and DISTURBING MY PEACE – 2020. Did I mention that a few years back\, my original song “Go Higher” was chosen as the best Obama Inaugural Song and Lady D and MI$$ION were invited to play at the Obama For Change Inaugural Ball in Washington D.C. in January 2009. \nThis\, now 21 year career has included some other highlights and lows. Being the opening act for the O’Jays was very cool. I’ve performed up and down the eastern seaboard and with some notables such as blues great\, Johnny Rawls and monster blues organist\, Bruce Katz. I wrote a book of poetry called “Appalachian BluesSpeak” and I discovered the visual arts and began expressing myself through painting on fabric and canvas. I’ve organized my own jazz & blues festivals and hosted a blues radio show for six years. \n2020 was the year of the major shift in my writing and consciousness and I released my newest studio album\, “Disturbing My Peace.” This reflection of the events and collective emotional trauma that took place in that year is all laid bare in Disturbing My Peace. Now comes … re-invention. \nAbout Bob Thompson: \nMoving to West Virginia in the mid-’60s to attend then West Virginia State College\, pianist Bob Thompson is perhaps the state’s best-loved musician and ambassador of jazz. He has touched many people’s lives both as an entertainer and a teacher. \nGrowing up in NY\, he sang in street corner doo-wop bands and originally attended WVSC on a scholarship to study trumpet and music education. After switching to piano\, he quickly became a staple on the local scene with bands like the Modern Jazz Interpreters and Joi. \nAfter some independent releases\, he signed to Capitol Records subsidiary Intima and later to the Ichiban label. Two of his albums climbed into the Top 25 in Billboard’s contemporary jazz chart while four of his releases made their way into the Top 10 on the Radio and Records jazz chart. Those nationally released works furthered his reputation significantly. \nIn the meantime\, he performed in Brazil\, South Africa and Scandinavia. Appearances on BET\, as the house pianist on the NPR show Mountain Stage\, and several tours abroad have made Thompson a visible presence in the jazz world for more than 40 years. In addition\, for the past decade Thompson’s annual holiday jazz show Joy to the World has become a regular feature of Public Radio International’s holiday programming. \nThe CALT Sessions (An Appalachian Music Series)\nGrammy Winners\, WV Music Hall of Fame Inductees\, and regional heroes will join us this summer for this entertaining and informative new series made possible by Central Appalachia Living Traditions (CALT) and the Mid Atlantic Arts!  \nThe artists will discuss how Appalachian traditional music and culture have influenced their contemporary works. All the artists will be performing and taking questions from attendees.  \nThe series will take place inside The Stage Door at 224 Putnam Street in Marietta\, in a close\, intimate environment. The events will be free to the public\, but you must have a ticket. Tickets will be released online two days before each event.

SUMMARY:The Kingston Trio
DESCRIPTION:Fans of legendary folk icons The Kingston Trio can re-discover their timeless music all over again\, after a forced nearly two-year hiatus due to pandemic restrictions as the group returns to their national tour. All three current members\, Mike Marvin\, Tim Gorelangton and Buddy Woodward have intrinsic links to and experience with the original group: Mike is the adopted son of founding member Nick Reynolds\, who was also his musical mentor; Tim\, a close friend since boyhood\, is one of the few musicians outside the Trio who has recorded with Nick Reynolds; and Buddy\, who has performed with longtime Kingston Trio member George Grove. Many of their personal memories recall the iconic trio’s performances and journey as folk music made its extraordinary ascent to the pinnacle of popular culture – and the top of the music charts. They’ll perform such timeless classics “Where Have All The Flowers Gone?” and “Tom Dooley.” \n  \nEnjoy all of our upcoming performances on our new Byrider Stage!

SUMMARY:Mountain Stage with Kathy Mattea featuring Amy Ray Band\, The Lone Bellow\, Alison Brown Band\, Tony Furtado\, and Villages
DESCRIPTION:About Mountain Stage\nFor nearly forty years\, Mountain Stage has stood as one of the most beloved and enduring programs in public radio history\, broadcasting thousands of raw\, unforgettable performances by rising stars and veteran legends alike from the series’ humble home in Charleston\, West Virginia.  \n“From the start\, we wanted to make a show where the music could speak for itself\,” says co-founder\, artistic director\, and longtime host Larry Groce. “We didn’t want to chase trends or build a cult of personality; we just wanted to showcase the kind of art that deserved to be heard.” \nLaunched in 1983 by Groce\, executive producer Andy Ridenour\, and chief engineer Francis Fisher\, Mountain Stage began as a regional production of West Virginia Public Broadcasting before quickly gaining NPR distribution and expanding its reach to a national audience. Bookings on the two-hour\, Sunday afternoon program were eclectic\, to say the least\, with each episode showcasing a handful of artists across a broad range of styles and genres\, and audiences responded favorably to the unique mix of down-home talent and household names. Though any number of early events could be credited with helping to fuel the show’s remarkable rise—some point to the breakout success of West Virginia natives like Tim O’Brien and Kathy Mattea\, who began performing on the series well before fame came calling\, while others recall the show’s star turn at the Public Radio Program Directors Conference in 1986\, when they presented station reps with authentic West Virginia hors d’oeuvres (fresh ramps and hamburgers cut into quarters)—most agree that it was R.E.M.’s 1991 appearance that marked an indelible turning point in the Mountain Stage story. \n“We got a call out of the blue asking if we’d like to have R.E.M. on the show\,” says Groce\, who’d hosted Peter Buck on the program the year before. “The band had just hit #1 with Out of Time\, but they’d announced that they weren’t going to tour behind it\, so the demand to see them was stupendous. I think they only did three shows in the US: SNL\, MTV Unplugged\, and Mountain Stage.” \nWhile the performance undoubtedly raised Mountain Stage’s profile with artists and audiences around the world\, the series remained true to its Appalachian roots\, maintaining the same small\, tight-knit staff and commitment to embodying the warmth\, honesty\, and openness of West Virginia and its people in everything they did. The decades to come would yield countless more iconic performances from an incredibly diverse array of guests—John Prine\, Patti Smith\, Allen Ginsberg\, Dr. John\, Mavis Staples\, Townes Van Zandt\, Hugh Masekela\, Buddy Guy\, Preservation Hall Jazz Band\, Wilco\, Phish\, and Angélique Kidjo\, to name just a few—but each and every artist found themselves treated with the same respect and hospitality as the last\, regardless of whether they were GRAMMY-winning superstars or fresh-faced rookies making their radio debut. \n“There’s something quintessentially West Virginia about Mountain Stage\,” says Mattea\, who took over hosting duties from Groce in 2021. “It’s a culture steeped in humility and generosity\, which makes for a groundedness\, for a sense of continuity and community that I think artists are really drawn to.“These days\, Mountain Stage can be heard on nearly 300 public radio stations nationwide (and globally via NPR Music)\, but its heart and soul remain firmly planted in Charleston\, where the series continues to present world-class performances with the same passion\, dedication\, and curiosity that’s guided it from the start. \nMountain Stage is produced by West Virginia Public Broadcasting and distributed by NPR Music. \n[av_hr class=’default’ height=’50’ shadow=’no-shadow’ position=’center’ custom_border=’av-border-thin’ custom_width=’50px’ custom_border_color=” custom_margin_top=’30px’ custom_margin_bottom=’30px’ icon_select=’yes’ custom_icon_color=” icon=’ue808′ font=’entypo-fontello’ av_uid=” custom_class=” admin_preview_bg=”] \nAbout Kathy Mattea\nIt’s hard to imagine anyone more suited to serving as the new host of Mountain Stage than two-time GRAMMY Award winner and West Virginia native Kathy Mattea.  \n“If someone was going to invent a job that combined all of my passions and all of my skills\, this would be it\,” Mattea reflects. “It’s just the perfect fit in every way.” \nOver the course of Mountain Stage’s nearly 40-year run on public radio\, the show has become something of a second home for Mattea\, who’s appeared as a guest on the Charleston-based program more times than any other female artist (she ranks second overall only to her good friend and fellow West Virginia native Tim O’Brien). \n“There’s something quintessentially West Virginia about Mountain Stage\,” Mattea explains. “Beyond the world-class performances\, beyond the collaborative atmosphere\, beyond how much fun it is\, I think the show offers a really important insight into the people and the culture that make West Virginia so special\, and I’m always thrilled to help share that with the world.” \nBorn and raised in Kanawha County\, Mattea lived in West Virginia until the late 1970s\, when she moved to Nashville to pursue her dreams of a career in music. She signed her first record deal in 1983 and charted with a pair of early releases\, but it was her acclaimed third album\, Walk The Way The Wind Blows\, that truly signaled her arrival as a star. The record produced four Top 10 singles at country radio and set the stage for Mattea’s 1987 smash\, Untasted Honey\, which marked the first of five of her albums to be certified gold. Untasted Honey contained back-to-back #1 country singles\, as did 1989’s Willow In The Wind\, which helped Mattea take home two consecutive CMA Female Vocalist of the Year awards along with a GRAMMY for Best Female Vocal Performance. The LA Times called her “a performer of limitless potential\,” while the Washington Post hailed her as “one of Nashville’s finest song interpreters\,” and People described her as “warm\, strong\, smart and generally splendid.” Over the next three decades\, Mattea would go on to record nearly a dozen more albums exploring country\, folk\, Celtic\, and gospel music; collaborate with everyone from Jackson Browne to Townes Van Zandt; notch her first platinum record with a collection of her greatest hits; earn her second GRAMMY Award; top the Bluegrass Albums chart; and garner yet another GRAMMY nomination for Coal\, her Marty Stuart-produced exploration of Appalachian mining songs. Mattea’s most recent release\, 2018’s Pretty Bird\, marked her triumphant return to the studio after nearly losing her voice and prompted glowing profiles from NPR\, Billboard\, Rolling Stone\, and more. \nIn 2019\, Mattea began guest-hosting episodes of Mountain Stage at the suggestion of co-founder and original executive producer Andy Ridenour. Filling in for longtime host Larry Groce\, who’d never missed a show in the series’ entire run\, was a daunting task\, but Mattea’s deep well of musical knowledge\, easygoing chemistry with guests\, and profound personal reverence for the program and its history made her a natural.  \n“I understood the culture\, I understood the music\, and I was just as comfortable singing with the guests as I was chatting with them\,” says Mattea. “Stepping into that role felt like finding something I’d been yearning for without even realizing it.” \n“Kathy’s been coming on the show for more than 30 years now\,” adds Groce\, “and in all that time and with all her success\, she really hasn’t changed who she is at her core. She embodies the best of West Virginia the same way Mountain Stage does\, and that’s how we knew she’d be the perfect person for this job.” \nIn 2021\, Mattea took over as full-time host of Mountain Stage to a warm welcome from loyal listeners around the country. Given the profound effect the show has had on her over the years\, the honor’s not one Mattea takes lightly. She sees herself as a steward of the series\, a keeper of the flame whose primary responsibility is to carry on the traditions and the legacy that have made Mountain Stage such an integral part of the public radio landscape these past four decades. Like her predecessors\, she aims to bring humor\, heart\, and a whole lot of unforgettable performances to the airwaves\, showcasing both rising young talent and legendary veterans while at the same time sharing a taste of the West Virginia she grew up with\, a place full of friendly\, funny\, brilliant people who tend to be too humble and kind to toot their own horns. \n“One of the reasons I love this job so much is that it’s not about me\,” Mattea explains. “There’s something so rewarding about being able to take whatever success I’ve had in my career and pass that on to the next person\, to be able to shine a light on these amazing artists and this wonderful state and this incredibly important institution.”Her place in Mountain Stage history long since assured\, Kathy Mattea is ready to help guide the show into the future one joyous\, eclectic night of music at a time. \n[av_hr class=’default’ height=’50’ shadow=’no-shadow’ position=’center’ custom_border=’av-border-thin’ custom_width=’50px’ custom_border_color=” custom_margin_top=’30px’ custom_margin_bottom=’30px’ icon_select=’yes’ custom_icon_color=” icon=’ue808′ font=’entypo-fontello’ av_uid=” custom_class=” admin_preview_bg=”] \n\nAbout Amy Ray\nA lot of artists defy categorization. Some do so because they are tirelessly searching for the place they fit\, while others are constantly chasing trends. Some\, though\, are genuinely exploring and expressing their myriad influences. Amy Ray belongs in the latter group. Pulling from every direction — Patty Griffin to Patti Smith\, Big Star to Bon Iver — Ray’s music might best be described as folk-rock\, though even that would be a tough sell\, depending on the song. \nRay’s musical beginnings trace back to her high school days in Atlanta\, Georgia\, when she and Emily Saliers formed the duo that would become the Indigo Girls. Their story started in 1981 with a basement tape called “Tuesday’s Children” and went on to include a deal with Epic Records in 1988\, a Grammy in 1990\, and nearly 20 albums over more than 35 years. \nRooted in shared passions for harmony and justice\, the Indigo Girls have forged a career that combines artistry and activism to push against every boundary and box anyone tries to put them in. As activists\, they have supported as many great causes as they can\, from LGBTQ+ rights to voter registration\, going so far as to co-found a Native environmental justice organization\, Honor the Earth\, with Winona LaDuke in 1993. As artists\, they have dipped their toes into a similar multitude of waters — folk\, rock\, country\, pop\, and more — but the resulting releases are always pure Indigo. \nRay’s seven studio records — and three live albums — have charted even wider seas\, from the political punk of 2001’s Stag to the feminist Americana of 2018’s Holler. Each effort seems to lean into her influences in different ways\, whether it’s the Allman Brothers or the Carter Family. One album finds the Butchies on full blast\, another features Alison Brown on bluegrass banjo. \nBoth Stag and its follow-up\, Prom (2005)\, found Ray addressing societal woes\, ranging from the dangers of homophobia to the machismo of rock & roll\, all while channeling her inner Replacements into a Southern punk sound that she has called “subversiveness with a smile.” Ray softened her sonic stance a bit for her next two efforts\, 2008’s Didn’t It Feel Kinder and 2012’s Lung of Love\, both of which felt closer in tone to her work with Indigo Girls\, confronting cultural issues alongside personal ones. \nIn retrospect\, it’s easy to see how songs like Lung of Love‘s “Bird in the Hand” and “The Rock Is My Foundation” served as signposts of what was to come next for Ray. With Goodnight Tender in 2014\, she recorded in Asheville\, North Carolina\, and stepped squarely into the country music that has been a part of everything she’s done. But it’s not the kind of country heard on the radio; it’s the country music culled from folk\, bluegrass\, gospel\, and Southern rock\, going so far as to title a tune after Duane Allman. \nFor 2018’s Holler\, Ray recorded\, once again\, with her Carolina country kin\, adding horns and strings to all but split the musical distance between Kinder and Tender to create a soulful\, country-tinged\, gospel-infused Americana sound. More cohesively than her prior releases\, Holler encompasses and imparts all the disparate aspects of Ray’s influences in a singular offering. \nRay’s vast artistic inspirations are matched only by the deep peer admiration that is reflected in her albums’ guest appearances\, which have included Vince Gill\, Brandi Carlile\, Justin Vernon\, Jim James\, Derek Trucks\, Susan Tedeschi\, Phil Cook\, and others. That kind of good will is something only built from a lifetime of good deeds and great music. \nWhen 2020 found the world immersed in a pandemic\, Amy and her band turned to the digital world\, and started producing and recording singles from their own makeshift studios. “Tear it Down” released along with a video in November\, 2020 wrestled with Amy’s upbringing in the cradle of the confederacy and pays tribute to activists working to dismantle racism. In February\, 2021\, Amy Ray Band released another video and song\, “Muscadine”\, to sing of dogs and what they teach us of unconditional love. Another song\, “Chuck Will’s Widow” about the incessant call of the night jar came out in 2021. \nThese singles laid the groundwork to go into the studio in the winter of 2021 in Nashville and record a full-length record to analog tape. The upcoming release\, If It All Goes South is due out in September 2022. IIAGS digs deeper into Amy Ray and her band’s musical roots and showcases their bond and agility of 9 years and running. She is revisited by old friends Alison Brown (banjo)\, Phil Cook (keys and vocals)\, and Brandi Carlile (vocals). The addition of guest vocals by Allison Russell and Natalie Hemby along with mandolin and vocals from Sarah Jarosz bring fresh influences to the mix. The record also brings us a collaboration with Bluegrass / Americana greats I’m With Her\, where they reimagine the song “Chuck Will’s Widow”. \n[av_hr class=’default’ height=’50’ shadow=’no-shadow’ position=’center’ custom_border=’av-border-thin’ custom_width=’50px’ custom_border_color=” custom_margin_top=’30px’ custom_margin_bottom=’30px’ icon_select=’yes’ custom_icon_color=” icon=’ue808′ font=’entypo-fontello’ av_uid=” custom_class=” admin_preview_bg=”] \n \nAbout The Lone Bellow\nThroughout their lifespan as a band\, The Lone Bellow have cast an indelible spell with their finespun songs of hard truth and unexpected beauty\, frequently delivered in hypnotic three-part harmony. In a departure from their past work with elite producers like Aaron Dessner of The National and eight-time Grammy-winner Dave Cobb\, the Nashville-based trio struck out on their own for their new album Love Songs for Losers\, dreaming up a singular sound encompassing everything from arena-ready rock anthems to the gorgeously sprawling Americana tunes the band refers to as “little redneck symphonies.” Recorded at the possibly haunted former home of the legendary Roy Orbison\, the result is an intimate meditation on the pain and joy and ineffable wonder of being human\, at turns heartbreaking\, irreverent\, and sublimely transcendent. \n“One of the reasons we went with Love Songs for Losers as the album title is that I’ve always seen myself as a loser in love—I’ve never been able to get it completely right\, so this is my way of standing on top of the mountain and telling everyone\, ‘It’s okay\,’” says lead vocalist Zach Williams\, whose bandmates include guitarist Brian Elmquist and multi-instrumentalist Kanene Donehey Pipkin. “The songs are looking at bad relationships and wonderful relationships and all the in-between\, sometimes with a good deal of levity. It’s us just trying to encapsulate the whole gamut of experience that we all go through as human beings.” \nThe fifth full-length from The Lone Bellow\, Love Songs for Losers arrives as the follow-up to 2020’s chart-topping Half Moon Light—a critically acclaimed effort that marked their second outing with Dessner\, spawning the Triple A radio hits “Count On Me” and “Dried Up River” (both of which hit #1 on the Americana Singles chart). After sketching the album’s 11 songs in a nearby church\, the band holed up for eight weeks at Orbison’s house on Old Hickory Lake\, slowly carving out their most expansive and eclectic body of work yet. “I’ve always thought our music was so much bigger than anything we’ve shown on record before\, and this time we turned over every stone until we got the songs exactly where they needed to be\,” says Elmquist. Co-produced by Elmquist and Jacob Sooter\, Love Songs for Losers also finds Pipkin taking the reins as vocal producer\, expertly harnessing the rarefied vocal magic they’ve brought to the stage in touring with the likes of Maren Morris and Kacey Musgraves. “Singing together night after night for a decade allows you to understand what your bandmates are capable of\, in a way that no one else can\,” says Pipkin. “There are so many different qualities to our voices that had never been captured before\, and producing this album ourselves was a nice opportunity to finally showcase that.” \nRecorded with their longtime bassist Jason Pipkin and drummer Julian Dorio\, Love Songs for Losers embodies an unvarnished intensity—an element in full effect on its lead single “Gold\,” a galvanizing look at the real-life impact of the opioid crisis. “We don’t ever try to write songs with an agenda\, so with ‘Gold’ the idea was to tell the story from the perspective of someone in a hard situation—in this case\, a guy who’s stuck in the downward spiral of addiction\,” says Elmquist. In one of the most exhilarating turns on Love Songs for Losers\, the chorus to “Gold” explodes in a wild collision of bright piano tones\, potent beats\, and massively stacked guitars. “We’ve sung ‘Gold’ as a folk song in the past\, but for the album we wanted to really experiment and push our sound as far as it could go\,” Elmquist notes. \nImbued with equal parts brutal honesty and heart-expanding wisdom\, Love Songs for Losers opens on “Honey” and its synth-laced reflection on the more delicate aspects of enduring love. “‘Honey’ came from thinking about how my wife doesn’t like being called ‘honey’ or ‘baby’—she thinks it’s lazy\, it always rubs her the wrong way\,” says Williams. “It turned into a song about sometimes wanting to go back to when we were first in love\, when everything was crazy and exciting and we were right on the verge of ruining each other’s lives at any second.” Later\, on “Cost of Living\,” Pipkin takes the lead vocal and shares a raw and lovely expression of grief\, her voice shifting from fragile to soulful with impossible ease. A quietly shattering piano ballad featuring Elmquist on lead vocals\, “Dreaming” channels the ache of lost love with exquisite specificity. “It’s a song about two people catching up with each other\, and I love how the lyric goes from ‘How’s your mother?’ to ‘How’s that devil in your heart?’—there’s no middle ground\, which feels very true to me\,” says Williams. And on “Wherever Your Heart Is\,” The Lone Bellow present a beautifully slow-building piece exploring a particularly powerful form of devotion. “I love those moments\, even in friendships\, when someone surprises you or reveals something you never knew about them before\,” says Elmquist. “I think it’s so vital to any relationship to keep on chasing the mystery and maintain that curiosity\, instead of just making your mind up about who or what the other person is.” \nOne of the most tender tracks on Love Songs for Losers\, “Unicorn” unfolds with a cascade of heavenly melodies as Williams offers up an unabashed outpouring of affection for his wife Stacy (“I was kinda thinkin’ I could tell you my feelings/Sit you down and wreck you with some words that are pretty/I could say ‘I love you’ but I wanna say more/I think God made a unicorn”). “That’s definitely one where the physical location seeped into the song\, and Roy Orbison’s ghost maybe led us toward the path we ended up on\,” Williams points out. \nEven in its most lighthearted moments\, Love Songs for Losers bears the same heady depth of emotion that’s guided Williams since his earliest days as a songwriter—a period of time that followed a devastating horse-riding accident that left Stacy temporarily paralyzed. As she recovered\, Williams learned to play guitar and began setting his journal entries to song\, routinely performing at an open-mic night across the street from the hospital. Soon after Stacy regained her ability to walk\, the couple moved to Brooklyn\, where (after eight years as a solo artist) Williams joined Elmquist and Pipkin in founding The Lone Bellow. In 2013\, the band made their auspicious debut with a self-titled\, Charlie Peacock-produced album that quickly landed at No. 64 on the Billboard 200\, later turning up on best-of-the-year lists from the likes of Paste and Pop Matters. With over 100 million career streams to date\, The Lone Bellow’s past output also includes the Dessner-produced Then Came the Morning (a 2015 effort that earned them an Americana Music Award nomination) and Walk Into a Storm (a 2017 release produced by Cobb and hailed by NPR for its “warmly rousing\, gospel-inflected Americana”). \nFor The Lone Bellow\, the triumph of completing their first self-produced album marks the start of a thrilling new chapter in the band’s journey. “At the outset it was scary to take away the safety net of working with a big-name producer and lean on each other instead\,” says Pipkin. “It took an incredible amount of trust\, but in the end it was so exciting to see each other rise to new heights.” And with the release of Love Songs for Losers\, the trio feel newly emboldened to create without limits. “This album confirmed that we still have beauty to create and put out into the world\, and that we’re still having fun doing that after ten years together\,” says Elmquist. “It reminded us of our passion for pushing ourselves out onto the limb and letting our minds wander into new places\, and it sets me on fire to think of what we might make next.” \n[av_hr class=’default’ height=’50’ shadow=’no-shadow’ position=’center’ custom_border=’av-border-thin’ custom_width=’50px’ custom_border_color=” custom_margin_top=’30px’ custom_margin_bottom=’30px’ icon_select=’yes’ custom_icon_color=” icon=’ue808′ font=’entypo-fontello’ av_uid=” custom_class=” admin_preview_bg=”] \n \nAbout Alison Brown\nOne of the most multi-faceted minds in roots music\, Alison Brown is a GRAMMY-winning musician\, producer\, composer\, former investment banker and co-founder of the internationally acclaimed\, Nashville-based Compass Records Group. Alison’s brand new album ON BANJO features her unique banjo style on an eclectic set of original compositions that explore the range of the instrument with a cast of musical compadres including Steve Martin\, Kronos Quartet\, Sierra Hull\, Stuart Duncan and members of the Alison Brown Quintet. \nAlison has won the International Bluegrass Music Association’s Banjo of the Year award (the first women in IBMA history to win an instrumentalist’s award) as well as the IBMA Distinguished Achievement Award.  She is also the recipient of the USA Artists Fellowship in Music and a member of American Banjo Museum’s Hall of Fame.  She made her first appearance on Mountain Stage over 30 years ago as a member of Alison Krauss and Union Station and is delighted to be returning. \n[av_hr class=’default’ height=’50’ shadow=’no-shadow’ position=’center’ custom_border=’av-border-thin’ custom_width=’50px’ custom_border_color=” custom_margin_top=’30px’ custom_margin_bottom=’30px’ icon_select=’yes’ custom_icon_color=” icon=’ue808′ font=’entypo-fontello’ av_uid=” custom_class=” admin_preview_bg=”] \n\nAbout Tony Furtado\nVery few musicians of any stripe so personify a musical genre as completely as Tony Furtado embodies Americana roots music. Tony is an evocative and soulful singer\, a wide-ranging songwriter and a virtuoso multi-instrumentalist adept on banjo\, cello-banjo\, slide guitar and baritone ukulele who mixes and matches sounds and styles with the flair of a master chef. Tony is also an accomplished and awarded sculptor. \n[av_hr class=’default’ height=’50’ shadow=’no-shadow’ position=’center’ custom_border=’av-border-thin’ custom_width=’50px’ custom_border_color=” custom_margin_top=’30px’ custom_margin_bottom=’30px’ icon_select=’yes’ custom_icon_color=” icon=’ue808′ font=’entypo-fontello’ av_uid=” custom_class=” admin_preview_bg=”] \n\n \nAbout Villages\nAway to the westward\, I’m longing to be\nWhere the beauties of heaven unfold by the sea\nWhere the sweet purple heather blooms fragrant and free\nOn a hilltop\, high above the Dark Island\n– Traditional Scottish folk song \nThe concept of the Dark Island is metaphorical: When you’re at the end of your life\, taking stock of it\, what will you think about? No matter what you land on\, good or bad\, that island is yours – the\ndark surely looms\, but it also covers all you’ve ever experienced. \nFor the folk-rock quartet Villages\, the concept is also literal: Hailing from Cape Breton Island\, on the farthest flung northeastern corner of Nova Scotia – itself already flung far – and jutting out into\nthe Atlantic Ocean\, it’s a lush landscape of great complicated beauty\, its rocky coast covered in sea salt and leaning defiantly into harsh winds. \nOn its new full-length\, Dark Island\, Villages marries metaphor to roots on 11 tracks that offer an experience meant to echo a visit to Cape Breton itself: Otherworldly\, euphoric\, sobering\, celebratory\, and reverent. \nThe band – Matt Ellis\, Travis Ellis\, Jon Pearo\, Archie Rankin – tapped the JUNO-winning composer and soundscapist Joshua Van Tassel (David Myles\, Great Lake Swimmers\, Fortunate Ones) as producer\, stepping into Joel Plaskett’s Fang Recording for a whirlwind eight days. Van Tassel directed the band to play the songs fully live off the floor (three takes max) capturing the boisterous energy of Villages’ live performances and making the album a series of present moments strung together. \nThe combination of Van Tassel – whose own work is largely instrumental and played on rare instruments – and Villages – the band has also made three indie-rock albums as Mardeen – results in a type of Celtic music that respects its heritage while taking sonic chances. Dark Island’s opening seconds are comprised of birds chirping and Matt Ellis’ voice stutter-stepping through “Good morning\,” before dropping into a full-on shanty in the form of “Wearing Through the Pine.” \nThe lead single “Love Will Live On” is a gently rolling foot-stomper lamenting the hard times of modern-day life: “I’m too poor to be buying this round\,” Ellis notes whose upbeat chorus offers a\nhopeful solution: move to the country and live a quiet life on “an island in the Maritimes”. \nIn between album-wide kitchen-party whoops\, Ellis pulls his voice as high as it can go on “Easy When You Know How\,” sure to be a live sing-along challenge. The final minute of “Willow” hops into a classic Wall of Sound pop cacophony surrounding a chorus of traditional la-la-las and a refrain of high\, airy oohs carries “Mother” to its gentle conclusion. \nNature is\, aptly\, a dominant theme on Dark Island\, befitting men who grew up in a place wild and beautiful: fields\, waves\, trees\, rivers\, and rocks figure prominently throughout the lyrics\, presenting the music as a kind of soundtrack to Island life\, putting you in and at home. On perhaps the most Celtic-leaning track\, “Play the Fiddle All Night\,” all of the album’s themes are handily encompassed in just half of a chorus: “Play for me the ‘Dark Island’ / till the dew lifts off the clover/ play the fiddle all night.” \nFor the members of Villages\, who grew up on traditional Celtic music\, to create and perform new music in that tradition is no small feat\, and no small responsibility. They know where they come from. They know how it made them. And they know where their Dark Island lies. \nSo gentle the sea breeze that ripples the bay\nWhere the stream joins the ocean\, and young children play\nOn a strand of pure silver\, I’ll welcome each day\nAnd I’ll roam forever more\, the Dark Island \nReviving the Cape Breton sound of their ancestry and mixing it with contemporary influences and instruments\, Villages are an intriguing case study in cultural identity. Escaping the trad-inspired sounds in their younger days through their acclaimed indie rock band Mardeen\, the group has assuredly found their way back to their roots. \nTheir self-titled debut took a deep dive into the haunting and meandering melodies of the Cape Breton Highlands and presents them through atmospheric arrangements that recall the influence of groups like The War on Drugs and Fleet Foxes. Villages won Folk Recording of the Year at the 2019 Nova Scotia Music Awards. The group’s 2020 EP\, Upon the Horizon\, built on the unique sound of their debut and was mixed by Phil Ek (Fleet Foxes\, Band of Horses). \n[av_hr class=’default’ height=’50’ shadow=’no-shadow’ position=’center’ custom_border=’av-border-thin’ custom_width=’50px’ custom_border_color=” custom_margin_top=’30px’ custom_margin_bottom=’30px’ icon_select=’yes’ custom_icon_color=” icon=’ue808′ font=’entypo-fontello’ av_uid=” custom_class=” admin_preview_bg=”] \nEnjoy all of our upcoming performances on our new Byrider Stage!

SUMMARY:The CALT Sessions: Tim O’Brien & Jan Fabricius
DESCRIPTION:Happening inside The Stage Door at 224 Putnam Street in Marietta.\nDoors open at 6:30 pm.\nThis project is made possible through the Central Appalachia Living Traditions Folk & Traditional Arts Experiences program of Mid Atlantic Arts.  \nBorn in Wheeling\, West Virginia in 1954\, Grammy winning singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Tim O’Brien grew up singing in church and in school. After seeing Doc Watson on TV\, became a lifelong devotee of old time and bluegrass music. Tim started touring nationally in 1978 with Colorado bluegrass band Hot Rize. His songs “Walk the Way the Wind Blows” and “Untold Stories” were bluegrass hits for Hot Rize\, and country hits for Kathy Mattea. Soon more artists like Nickel Creek\, Garth Brooks\, and The Dixie Chicks covered his songs. Over the years\, Tim has collaborated with his sister Mollie O’Brien\, songwriter Darrell Scott\, and noted old time musician Dirk Powell\, as well as with Steve Earle\, Mark Knopfler\, Dan Auerbach and Sturgill Simpson.\nLiving in Nashville since 1996\, O’Brien’s skills on guitar\, mandolin\, fiddle\, and banjo make him an in demand session player. He tours throughout the US and abroad\, most often with his partner Jan Fabricius on mandolin and vocals. His regular band includes Fabricius along with Mike Bub (bass) and Shad Cobb (fiddle). The International Bluegrass Music Association awarded him song of the year in 2006 and named him best male vocalist in 1993 and 2006. He was inducted into the West Virginia Music Hall of Fame in 2013. A voracious reader who loves to cook\, he has two sons\, Jackson (born 1982) and Joel (born 1990). \nNotable O’Brien recordings include the bluegrass Dylan covers of “Red On Blonde”\, the Celtic-Appalachian fusion of “The Crossing”\, and the Grammy winning folk of “Fiddler’s Green”. His duet recording “Real Time” with Darrell Scott is a cult favorite\, and he won a bluegrass Grammy as part of “The Earls Of Leicester”. His 2017 release “Where the River Meets the Road” paid tribute to the music of his native West Virginia. O’Brien formed his own record label\, Howdy Skies Records\, in 1999\, and launched the digital download label Short Order Sessions (SOS) with his partner Jan Fabricius in 2015. \nHis new release “He Walked On” features eight new originals and five covers from R.B. Morris\, Bill Caswell\, Dale Keys\, Yip Harburg\, and mentor J.D. Hutchison. A rhythm section including drummer Pete Abbott and long-time bassist Mike Bub underpins contributions from fiddlers Shad Cobb and Justin Moses\, bassist Edgar Mayer\, gospel singer Odessa Settles\, guitarist Bo Ramsey\, keyboard player Mike Rojas\, as well as vocals and mandolin from Jan Fabricius. Historical and socially conscious themes weave their way through songs about ordinary and not so ordinary people just trying to “keep it between the ditches”. \nThe CALT Sessions (An Appalachian Music Series)\nGrammy Winners\, WV Music Hall of Fame Inductees\, and regional heroes will join us this summer for this entertaining and informative new series made possible by Central Appalachia Living Traditions (CALT) and the Mid Atlantic Arts!  \nThe artists will discuss how Appalachian traditional music and culture have influenced their contemporary works. All the artists will be performing and taking questions from attendees.  \nThe series will take place inside The Stage Door at 224 Putnam Street in Marietta\, in a close\, intimate environment. The events will be free to the public\, but you must have a ticket. Tickets will be released online two days before each event.

SUMMARY:Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder
DESCRIPTION:Fifteen-time GRAMMY® Award-winner Ricky Skaggs’ career is easily among the most significant in recent country music history. If Skaggs’ burgeoning trophy case full of awards wasn’t already enough evidence of that fact\, consider that legendary guitarist Chet Atkins once credited Skaggs with “single-handedly saving country music.” His life’s path has taken him to various musical genres\, from where it all began in bluegrass music\, to striking out on new musical journeys\, while still leaving his musical roots intact. \nBorn July 18\, 1954 in Cordell\, Kentucky\, Skaggs showed signs of future stardom at an early age\, playing mandolin on stage with bluegrass pioneer Bill Monroe at 6 and appearing on TV with Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs at 7. He emerged as a professional bluegrass musician in 1971\, when he and his friend Keith Whitley were invited to join the legendary Ralph Stanley’s band the Clinch Mountain Boys. \nSkaggs then went on to record and perform with progressive bluegrass acts like the Country Gentlemen and J.D. Crowe & the New South\, whose self-titled 1975 Rounder Records debut album was instantly recognized as a landmark bluegrass achievement. He then led Boone Creek\, which also featured Dobro ace and fellow New South alumnus Jerry Douglas. \nBut Skaggs turned to the more mainstream country music genre in the late ‘70s when he joined Emmylou Harris’s Hot Band\, replacing Rodney Crowell. He became a recording artist in his own right in 1981 when his Epic label debut album Waitin’ for the Sun to Shine topped the country charts and yielded a pair of #1 hits. Overall\, his productive stay at Epic Records would result in a total of 12 #1 hits. Additionally\, he garnered eight Country Music Association Awards–including the coveted Entertainer of the Year trophy in 1985. \nSkaggs\, of course\, fit right in with young “new-traditionalist” ‘80s artists like Randy Travis\, and helped rejuvenate the country music genre after the worn-out “Urban Cowboy” period. But\, Skaggs put his own stamp on the country format by infusing his bluegrass and traditional country music roots into the contemporary Nashville sound. \nSkaggs’ 1997 album Bluegrass Rules!\, released on his newly-formed Skaggs Family Records label\, marked a triumphant return to bluegrass—which he’s solidified ever since with a series of GRAMMY® Award-winning albums\, recorded with his amazing bluegrass band\, Kentucky Thunder (8-time winners of the IBMA ‘Instrumental Group of the Year’). Skaggs’ label has also served as a home for similar bluegrass and roots music-oriented artists\, including The Whites. \nIn the past decade\, he has been honored with inductions into the Gospel Music Association’s Gospel Music Hall of Fame and the Musicians Hall of Fame. In 2018\, a landmark year\, Skaggs was also awarded membership into the National Fiddler Hall of Fame\, the IBMA Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame\, and country music’s greatest honor\, the Country Music Hall of Fame. Most recently\, he was awarded the prestigious National Medal of Arts in 2020 for his contributions to the American music industry. \nRicky struck his first chords on a mandolin over 60 years ago\, and he continues to do his part to lead the recent roots revival in music. Clearly\, his passion for it puts him in the position to bring his lively\, distinctively American form of music out of isolation and into the ears and hearts of audiences across the country and around the world. Ricky Skaggs is always forging ahead with cross-cultural\, genre-bending musical ideas and inspirations. \n[av_video src=’https://youtu.be/9dADWLJpqAQ’ mobile_image=” attachment=” attachment_size=” format=’16-9′ width=’16’ height=’9′ conditional_play=” av_uid=” custom_class=”] \nEnjoy all of our upcoming performances on our new Byrider Stage!

SUMMARY:Esbenshade Series: Nai-Ni Chen Dance Company
DESCRIPTION:Choreographer/dancer\, Nai-Ni Chen\, was a unique artist whose work crosses many cultural boundaries. Each of her dances reflect her personal vision as an immigrant and an American female artist with deep roots in Asian culture. From this very personal perspective\, she created new works that reflect current issues with global influences. Some of her works were developed in collaboration with renowned artists such as the Ahn Trio\, Glen Velez\, Joan La Barbara\, Jason Kao Hwang\, Tao Chen\, Tan Dun\, Huang Ruo and the Chinese Music Ensemble of New York. \nBridging the two shores of Asian elegance and American dynamism\, Nai-Ni Chen Dance Company is a premiere provider of innovative cultural experiences that reflect the inspiring hope and energy of the immigrant’s journey. The company’s ground-breaking works have focused on themes from ancient legends that reflect issues of the present to purely abstract\, contemporary dances influenced by the mix of cultures that Nai-Ni Chen experienced in New York. An Asian American company that celebrates cross-cultural experience\, the company’s productions naturally bring forth issues of identity\, authenticity\, and equality. \nThe company has been presented at some of the most prestigious concert halls such as the Joyce Theater\, Lincoln Center\, and Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center. The company appears annually at New Jersey Performing Arts Center\, Queens College\, the College of Staten Island and on Ellis Island. Internationally\, the company has presented at international festivals including Russia’s Open Look Festival\, the Silesian International Contemporary Dance Festival\, Poland’s Konfrontations International Festival\, Korea’s Chang Mu International Dance Festival in Korea\, the Meet in Beijing International Arts Festival\, and the Tamaulipas International Arts Festival in Mexico. \nThe Nai-Ni Chen Dance Company has received more than 20 awards from the National Endowment for the Arts and numerous citations of excellence and grants from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts. Advancing dance education\, the Nai-Ni Chen Dance Company is currently in residence in New Jersey City University’s A. Harry Moore Laboratory School and Regional Day School teaching dance to urban children with disabilities. \nEnjoy all of our upcoming performances on our new Byrider Stage!

SUMMARY:Croce Plays Croce
DESCRIPTION:A.J. Croce performs Croce Plays Croce\, a special night of music featuring a complete set of classics by his late father Jim Croce\, some of his own tunes\, and songs that influenced both him and his father. This special event features such timeless songs as “Operator\,” “You Don’t Mess Around with Jim\,” “Time in a Bottle\,” (a song written for A.J.)\, “Rapid Roy (The Stock Car Boy)\,” and “Lovers Cross\,” to name a few. Classic covers may include songs by Lieber and Stoller\, Bessie Smith\, and other folk and roots artists. \nJim Croce was an American folk singer with a short-lived professional recording and touring career\, and decades of posthumous fame as one of the greatest songwriters and artists ever. With sales surpassing 50 million records\, including three #1 songs and 10 Top 10 hits\, Jim Croce’s short career and long-lived legacy are well-remembered through his era-defining standards like “Operator\,” Time in a Bottle\,” and “Bad\, Bad Leroy Brown.” \nA.J. Croce’s 30-year touring and recording career has produced ten studio albums that have been released via both major and independent labels\, and have charted 20 Top 20 singles and all ten albums on the radio\, including on Top 40\, Americana\, and Blues. A virtuoso piano player\, he has performed at a TED Talk and gave a master class at the University of Barcelona. Croce has performed on major talk shows and news programs\, including The Late Show\, The Tonight Show\, The Today Show\, CNN\, MTV\, and VH1. He’s toured with such esteemed artists as Willie Nelson\, Lenny Kravitz\, Earth\, Wind\, and Fire\, and B.B. King. While his last album\, Just Like Medicine\, paired him with producer and soul legend Dan Penn and an all-star cast of players and guests like Vince Gill and Steve Cropper\, his new album was born of memories — of favorite artists and shows\, but mostly\, of late-night gatherings with groups of friends\, many of them fellow musicians\, with Croce at the piano taking requests. Croce revisits these musical evenings on By Request (out on Compass Records) with 12 personally curated covers that traverse decades and genres\, propelled by his spirited\, piano mastery and emotive vocals. With a rich catalog of original compositions A.J. first recorded and released a composition of his fathers with a never-before-recorded song “Name of the Game” on his Just Like Medicine release. In 2018 he covered the 1973 hit “I Got A Name” for a Goodyear commercial with Dale Earnhardt Jr. \n  \nEnjoy all of our upcoming performances on our new Byrider Stage!
