NPR Music and West Virginia Public Broadcasting’s live performance radio show Mountain Stage will host two back-to-back live shows in Franklin, Tennessee during AmericanaFest 2023 as part of its 40th Anniversary Celebration.

Hosted by Kathy Mattea, the shows at The Franklin Theatre on Sept. 23-24 will feature performances by Steve Earle, Sam Bush, Elizabeth Cook, Sarah Lee Guthrie, Chris Pierce, Todd Snider, The Band of Heathens, Tracy Nelson and Adeem The Artist.

“I am so happy that Mountain Stage will be taping shows during Americana Week in Nashville,” says Mattea. “Many of our old friends and favorites will be making appearances, including Sam Bush, Steve Earle and Todd Snider. We also have young newcomers like Adeem the Artist, who are part of the cultural conversation these days. It’s a chance to celebrate the musicians that Mountain Stage has championed for 40 years, and to bring our brand of Live Performance music to Music City!”

Mountain Stage kicked off its 40th Anniversary Celebration earlier this year and will continue with more festivities to come. The show has become the second-longest running nationally distributed performance radio show, behind the Grand Ole Opry.
