Dr. Dog, appearing live on Mountain Stage November 4. |
Mountain Stage with Larry Groce will be returning to the
Keith-Albee Performing Arts Center in Huntington
as guests of the Marshall Artist Series on Sunday November 4.
Tickets for this
show go on sale today (August 30) at noon.
Advance tickets are $25, and full-time Marshall
students can get one free ticket with a valid student I.D.
Tickets
are available online, by phone (304.696.6656) and in person at the Marshall
Artist Series Box Office.
We’ll be joined by highly acclaimed Philadelphia-based indie-rockers Dr. Dog, whose heavily Beatles-influenced sound is evidenced on their latest ANTI-
records release Be The Void. They recently
recorded an episode of Austin City Limits for PBS and played a main-stage set
at Louisville, KY’s
Forecastle Music Festival.
Also appearing is folk trio The Mountain Goats, led by songwriter and singer
John Darnielle. Based in Claremont, CA,
Darnielle and his band are preparing for the release of their 14th album, Transcendental Youth on October 2.
Spirit Family Reunion will also be there. The band has been causing a big stir
recently, with a much buzzed about performance at the legendary Newport Folk
Festival in July, as well as a stirring performance at Virginia’s
Floyd Fest 11. NPR Music described the band as “a sweetly ramshackle Americana
sound that's part secular gospel revival, part folk ramble.” This promises to
be a break-out year for the band.

Ohio, RWB are often billed as “America’s
local band,” thanks to years and thousands of miles on the road throughout the
nation’s heartland, making fans one at a time. With only the aid of word of
mouth, Red Wanting Blue has established an exceedingly loyal following in the southeast
and Midwest, where they regularly fills clubs normally
reserved for bigger names.
