Béla Fleck – Live In-Studio Session
with WNRN
17 time Grammy-winning banjo innovator Béla Fleck joined us at Mountainside Studio for an intimate live in-studio performance and conversation in collaboration with Charlottesville’s listener-supported radio station WNRN. Recorded in our purpose-built, acoustically designed studio in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, the session featured high-fidelity audio capture, multi-camera video, and a small live audience—creating a uniquely immersive listening experience.
Featured Session:
ABC News and Wrongful Conviction
In this powerful session, best-selling author John Grisham, journalist Linsey Davis, and record producer/activist/podcaster Jason Flom gathered for a national television interview for ABC Nightline and podcast recording for Wrongful Conviction, in conjunction with Lava for Good.
Behind the scenes, we captured the creative energy, technical setup, and human connection that define our studio’s ethos.
Featured Session:
Morgan Wade featuring Kesha
Tracking session and creative moments with Morgan Wade and producer/guitarist Clint Wells, captured during the making of “Walked on Water”—a powerhouse collaboration with Grammy-nominated artist Kesha featured on what came to be known as the album Obsessed. We also recorded guitars, vocals, and piano for "Halloween", as well as the title track "Obsessed". The band was kind enough to invite us to their show, where I snapped a great pic with my iPhone at the Paramount Theater. Floyd, VA should be proud.
Greensky Bluegrass
WNRN Radio Session
Touring behind their Billboard #1 album Stress Dreams, Greensky Bluegrass stopped by Mountainside Studio to record an intimate radio session for Charlottesville’s WNRN. Their live take of “Grow Together” brought both warmth and power to the room. The band later invited the Mountainside crew backstage at their concert that night at the Ting Pavilion — such a fun session!
