Hotline Feature – Kathy Mattea: Don Was, Bob Weir’s Legacy, and Mountain Stage’s 43rd Year
Kathy Mattea joins Dave Weekley on Hotline to preview a special Mountain Stage show in Morgantown as the program kicks off its 43rd year. Kathy reflects on her WVU days, unforgettable Coliseum concerts, and the passing of Bob Weir, whose influence looms large over this weekend’s headliner Don Was and the Pan-Detroit Ensemble. The conversation highlights the ensemble’s Detroit roots, a powerful connection to Blues for Allah, and why this full nine-piece band is built to bring the house down. Kathy also previews additional performers Joe Crookston and William Matheny, notes ticket availability at the CAC, and plugs Mountain Stage Night at Fife Street Brewing — a warm, nostalgic, music-filled conversation that feels like a homecoming.
