Brian Blauser
Robert Cray Band appears on an encore presentation this weekend on Mountain Stage.

We're just a little over two weeks away from our next trip to The Birthplace of Country Music, Bristol, TN/VA. Our radio listeners can relive our last visit this weekend as we present an encore episode of last year's program featuring The Robert Cray Band with songs from his latest, This Time. You'll also hear the world renowned Texas troubadour troupe The Flatlanders, Australian alt-country darling Kasey Chambers & Shane Nichols, Robin & Linda Williams and old-time banjo man Riley Baugus.

Check out our "Backstage at Mountain Stage" interview with Robert Cray from our YouTube Channel below, and be sure to watch our conversation with Kasey Chambers & Shane Nichols there as well.
