After last week’s crazy winter blast, we need something to warm our spirits (and fingers… and feet… and snow-covered cars). Let Buckwheat Zydeco, JD McPherson and Pokey LaFarge bring a little glow to your radio on this week’s “Mountain Stage After Midnight.” Broadcast from 1am-5am Saturday and Sunday mornings here on West Virginia Public Broadcasting, “Mountain Stage After Midnight” takes the best episodes from the show’s 31 year history and shares their memories and songs with our late-night listeners. 

Tune in Saturday February 28 and Sunday February 29 for”Mountain Stage After Midnight.”

First up is March 2006 show featuring Grammy Award-winning songwriter Jesse Harris, English pop rock group Magic Numbers, Lee Rocker of the Stray Cats, Danish crooner Tina Dico and popular bayou-funk act Buckwheat Zydeco (who’s returning to the Mountain Stage in Charleston on March 8) .
