Steve Poltz performs as part of this week's new episode of Mountain Stage.

Our radio audiences will hear all new episodes starting this Friday, September 6, on more than 220 NPR stations. Tune in this week for an immensely entertaining show featuring modern folk duo The Milk Carton Kids, whose powerful songwriting is matched only by their humorous in between song banter. We’ll hear the incomparable energy and sweetness of Steve Poltz, songwriting vet Griffin House, avant-folk songwriter Vera Sola, and modern-pop string trio Twisted Pine. Find out where you can listen here.

Lucinda Williams made her first appearance on Mountain Stage on April 16, 1989.

Stations around the country will be entering on-air fund drives soon, and we made a special episode to help entice listeners to support their public radio stations. Our host Larry Groce dug deep into our archive to bring you “The Class of 1989.” This special edition features live sets from many influential artists who appeared on Mountain Stage for the first time that seminal year; Dr. John, Mose Allison, June Tabor, Lucinda Williams, David Grisman, Daniel Lanois, Rick Danko & Garth Hudson and Taj Mahal among them. We know you’ll enjoy the program and hope you’ll be motivated to renew or increase your membership.

Keep your eyes on our podcast feed for new episodes starting Tuesday, September 17, and be sure to sign-up for our e-mail newsletter for the latest updates on live shows and radio happenings. You can peek behind the scenes on our Instagram, Facebook and Twitter pages too.

Thank you for supporting Mountain Stage however you can, and we hope you’ll go out and hear some live music wherever you are, just as soon as you can.
