Mountain Stage
Eric Church joined the lineup in 2008 for a Mountain Stage episode recorded in Bristol, Tennessee.
Eric Church was a rising star in country music when he treated a 2008 Mountain Stage audience in Bristol, Tennessee, to a stripped-down acoustic performance of what is normally a loud, electric stage show.

Music Rowâs long history of commercial country hits is synonymous with many icons recognizable by just their first names â Dolly, Patsy, Johnny, Hank. But thrice-named singer, songwriter, producer, label owner and painter Robert Ellis Orrall is emblematic of the irreverent, eccentric spirit that has helped forge Nashvilleâs contemporary independent music scene.
After coming of age in his native Massachusettsâ rock scene, Orrall signed with RCA records in 1980. He and Carlene Carter both scored their first
