We just finished the Robert Plant and Alison Krauss tour a week and a half ago, drove home from Nashville back to Philadelphia, had just enough time to kiss our cats, and say hi to our family...and we were off again!...First stop this time...Mountain Stage, in Charleston West Virginia. (Scot Sax, Two of the Sister's Three, Cass Sadler and Anna Christie had no opinion of Charleston or the people in it before, but...if the courtesy and respect that was given to me exists in the rest of the state, then I am officially a new fan. The audience was packed into a little, very cool theater. They had eager ears for music, and I could feel their energy from the stage.
An amazing bill, which included Steeldriver and Amos Lee made for a really fantastic night of music. In particular, a big shout out to Chris Stapleton from Steel Driver, who REALLY rocks my world...both as a singer and as a songwriter. To top it off, Mountain Stage host and founder Larry Groce treated us to a celebratory toast under the Charleston moonlight at the end of the night.
