In our class, we have talked for weeks this year about how our region’s music gives our area a very distinct identity. Although I love to learn about music, I think it’s more important to actually witness the instruments and the voices that make us who we are. Since 1983, one of the most historic events in successfully producing and broadcasting Appalachian music is Mountain Stage.
In 2009, Mountain Stage held its 700th show. At least once a month, West Virginia Public Broadcasting and NPR broadcast two hours of music with the majority of it being music unique to our state. This Saturday, January 20th Mountain Stage will hold a performance at the WVU Creative Arts Center. Some of the music might not pertain to our culture, but I doubt many will mind a small break from fiddles. Here’s a link to information on the concert.

I've heard of Mountain Stage, but I never actually knew what it was. Maybe I'll check it out this weekend. I get the impression you've been before. What was your favorite part/what would you recommend?
(PS: your link didn't come though. Maybe you can post it in a comment??)
I've never heard of the Mountain Stage before. Do you feel any connection with our region's music? -M

I have actually never been, but I have known several people who have said it's simply a fun show for the price. Also, it's definitely different from most of the music we hear.
Interesting. I've never heard of Mountain Stage, but now I am definetly going to check it out.I would love to hear their take on Appalachian music. Nice Job!
