This week’s episode of Mountain Stage is an encore featuring former Soul Coughing front-man Mike Doughty, Diane Birch, California rockers Dawes, Canadian acoustic duo Dala and Langhorne Slim. Click HERE to view the playlist.

Doughty performs songs from his album Sad Man Happy Man acoustic with a cellist, putting a spotlight on his intricate rhyming and vocal style. He sat down to talk with Larry Groce, “Backstage at Mountain Stage,” for a video interview you can watch right here. We also have YouTube interviews with Dawes and Langhorne Slim.

Check out our Song of the Week, where we are featuring breakout band Dawes with a performance of “When My Time Comes” from their widely-heralded release North Hills. (Click to purchase on Amazon).We're not the only ones who think this song rocks- its being used it to promote pick-up trucks. 

Piano-pop songstress Diane Birch performs as well, including her bouncy number “Valentino,” which features one of the coolest videos we’ve seen in recent memory, which we’ll post here. (Click to purchase an mp3 of the song on Amazon)

From all of us at Mountain Stage, we wish you a safe and happy Thanksgiving holiday. We’ll have more exciting news about 2011 coming up very soon, so stay tuned to the Mountain Stage blog.
