Mountain Stage is a radio show produced by West Virginia Public Broadcasting, and distributed by Public Radio International, XM Satellite Radio and the Voice of America's satellite radio service. It is a two-hour music show taped before a live audience, usually in the Cultural Arts Center in Charleston, West Virginia, although it travels to other venues in the United States and Canada several times each year. It has been on the air since 1983.
The executive producer is Andy Ridenhour. The host, Larry Groce, also serves as artistic director. Groce's philosophy is that all music is related, so the program showcases very diverse music, from the traditional to the brand new, from roots music to jazz. Over the years, the show has featured such international luminaries as Phish, Barenaked Ladies, Bruce Hornsby, They Might Be Giants, and Regina Spektor as well as over a hundred West Virginia artists. Usually four or five guests will appear on any given show.
Several albums compiling live performances from the Mountain Stage series have also been released.
