Mountain Stage is happy to announce that two more acts have been booked for a pair of upcoming shows at the Culture Center Theater in Charleston.

October 16, we’ll welcome Nashville-based singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Charlie Worsham..

Featured on the Grand Ole Opry in 1998 as a 12-year-old banjo prodigy, lately Worsham has been catching buzz for his forays into rootsy pop, and has been opening for some of the biggest mainstream acts in country music – but don’t let that scare you. Worsham has an active YouTube channel where you can see his full range of talent as a singer, picker, and writer on display, including a "cover project" where he spends just 12 hours recording a unique version of a song picked by his Twitter followers.This show will also features Brett Dennen, The Kruger Brothers and the Red Clay Ramblers.

On October 23, Oregon-based alternative country-folk band Blitzen Trapper will be joining us. Their 2007 album Wild Mountain Nation was met with great enthusiasm by critics, and their 2008 follow-up Furr was named the 13^th best album of the year by Rolling Stone.

You can download a free EP from the band’s website here, and their forthcoming album, American Goldwing, is available for streaming (again, for free!) on Paste Magazine’s website. You can also check out the the band's latest video below. Or, if you’re out and about, you can check out Blitzen Trapper on their co-headlining tour with recent Mountain Stage favorite Dawes.

Also appearing live will be Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit, and James McMurtry. More artists will be announced for these shows as they are confirmed. Stay connected with us for the latest.

Thanks for supporting Mountain Stage!
