Darrell Scott, appearing live on Mountain Stage February 5 |
Mountain Stage is announcing its 29th season of shows at the Culture Center Theater Charleston,
beginning Sunday, February 5 with renowned singer-songwriter and
roots musician Darrell Scott. One of Nashville’s most respected and sought
after songwriters, Scott has written hit after hit for some of the biggest
names in country music, including The Dixie Chicks, Tim McGraw, and Brad
Paisley – just to name a few. Scott also puts in work as one of music city’s
most revered side men, most recently with Robert Plant’s backing group of roots
music all stars, The Band of Joy. Scott’s seventh album of all new material is
Long Ride Home.
We’ll also be joined on Feb 5
by Irish-American group Solas. Trumpeted by The Boston Herald as “The first
truly great Irish band to arise from America,” Solas has built a
reputation over nearly two decades as one of the finest Celtic groups working
anywhere.
The Dirty Dozen Brass Band
will also appear on this show. Thirty years after their formation, the Dirty
Dozen Brass Band is a world famous music machine, whose name is synonymous with
genre-bending romps, high-octane performances, and collaborations with artists
ranging from Elvis Costello and Dr. John to David Bowie.
