Justin Townes Earle, appearing live on Mountain Stage June 3

This is a pretty good week to be a music fan.

First, Justin Townes Earle's latest album, Nothing's Gonna Change the Way You Feel About Me Now was released today. JTE's previous album, Harlem River Blues was one of the most talked about discs of 2011, and wound up earning him Song of the Year from the Americana Music association, against some very stiff competition. It's a safe bet that the new album will the similar degree of buzz and zeal – which is why we're thrilled that he'll be appearing on Mountain Stage in Morgantown June 3.

Buy your tickets early, and buy often.

Joan Osborn, appearing on Mountain Stage April 15

Also out today is Joan Osborne's Bring It on Home. Long considered one of pop music's most soulful singers, it's only natural for Osborne to finally record an album of blues covers. Osborne will be joining us in just a few weeks, on April 15 in Morgantown alongside acoustic dynamos The Punch Brothers, Leftover Salmon and others.

Tickets for this show are going to continue to sell fast as the date approaches, so we encourage you to get yours now.

The Grifter's Hymnal

Finally, Ray Wylie Hubbard's new release, The Grifter's Hymnal is available at last. Iconic Texas songwriter, favorite of Mountain Stage regulars, and former schoolmate of Larry Groce, Hubbard is one part Guy Clark, and one part John Lee Hooker. He'll be with us during our next show in Charleston, as we celebrate summer with FestivALL.

Feel the sizzle, and get your tickets now.
