The year 2010 is winding down but there is still lots of great live performance radio for your listening pleasure. Today at NPR Music acoustic pop darlings The Weepies can be heard performing songs from their much anticipated and well-received record "Be My Thrill" (click to purchase on Amazon). We also have an interview with Deb and Steve of the Weepies "Backstage at Mountain Stage."

Coming up later this week at NPR Music you'll hear extended segments by Punch Brothers (below), Infamous Stringdusters and Trampled By Turtles. All four groups are featured on our YouTube Channel as well.

On Friday we'll post a special Mountain Stage flashback segment at NPR Music featuring a 2005 appearance by multi-lingual, multi-styled Portland group Pink Martini. They had just released "Hang On Little Tomato" when they visited us and since then have debuted a new holiday collection, "Joy To the World." Their set is definitely a treat.

Switching gears to 2011, our Live Show Schedule is already filled with some exciting guests. Tickets for all the events are ON SALE NOW, including our March 6 trip to Morgantown, WV at the WVU Creative Arts Center with jam-grass greats Railroad Earth and "Americana Without Borders" band Great American Taxi, featuring Vince Herman of Leftover Salmon.

We've just added folk-rocker Corey Smith to the line-up as well. Corey has a devout following that he's amassed over his five albums. Check him out, then head over to TicketMaster to get your tickets.We hope you can come see us live.
