This week on the Mountain Music Happy Hour, we welcome singer-songwriter Sara Jade for a soulful journey through music, meaning, and the spirit of the Valueverse. The episode kicks off with the always-energizing Rock’N’Roll Breakheart intro, setting the stage for a rich, reflective ride.   Sara shares the story behind her track “Wait Destiny”, a personal favorite that kicks off a thread of honesty and transformation throughout the show. As we move through tracks like Ben Jonesy Jones’ “Way of Life” and Brad Johner’s “Saved by Grace”, Sara opens up about her decision to join the Valueverse—highlighting the freedom and creative liberation it offers compared to the traditional music industry.   Listeners are treated to a lineup of powerful, value-driven music, including standout tracks like: •Nate Johnivan – “Bad People” •Adam Kirkup – “A Heart of Stone Can Only Break” •Two Weeks In Nashville – “Here Again” •Mayday Mayday (feat. Sir Brian With an I) – “Higher” •Abel James – “Don’t Wait for the Morning”   As the episode unfolds, Sara Jade shares her deep connections to several tracks, offering personal reflections that make each song hit harder. From the haunting pull of June &amp; The Jets’ “Leave It Alone”, to the nostalgic uplift of Sam Means’ “Live Forever 2”, and the rebellious energy of Vertigo Kidd’s “Pirate Radio”, every selection adds depth to the theme of artistic authenticity.   We also hear why songs like Malory’s “Take A Pill”, R.O. Shapiro’s “St. Joan”, and Hannah Blanchard’s “Stop” (feat. Alex Bonyata) hold such significance for Sara.   The show wraps with a heartfelt conversation about her own track “Never Knew”, closing out an episode that’s as introspective as it is inspiring.   🌄 Whether you’re tuning in for the tunes or the talk, Episode 44 is a must-listen celebration of musical freedom and the voices that make the Valueverse shine.

This week on the Mountain Music Happy Hour, we’re turning up the volume and shining a light on another fantastic batch of Value 4 Value music from across the Valueverse. We kick things off with a punchy opener from Rock’N’Roll Breakheart before diving into a hard-hitting lineup featuring the likes of Two Weeks in Nashville, Bobby Shell, and the always entertaining Garage T. Rashington III. Next we set the stage for a run of genre-spanning tracks including Abi Muir, Alicia Stockman, and The Trusted. We’re bringing the vibes with Liv Faith, Longy, and a little Lightning Thrashing promo to keep things wild. Then we groove with Geoff and The Tonewheels and revisit Jessie Lark, who last joined us on Episode 40. Then it’s a taste of what’s to come with a track from Sara Jade, who’s set to appear on Episode 44. We keep the mood rolling with Simon James, a chilled-out stretch from Texas 121 and Tony Salomone, and close out with Sat Streamers and Boosters and a smooth finish courtesy of Jimmy V. As always, thanks for riding along and supporting these artists directly. Value 4 Value lives here.

Episode 41 - March 25, 2055

In this special episode of Mountain Music Happy Hour, host Randy Black welcomes singer-songwriter Jessie Lark to the show for an in-depth discussion on her journey into the Value-for-Value (V4V) music model. The episode kicks off with the Rock’N’Roll Breakheart, setting the tone for an evening filled with incredible independent music. Jessie’s track “Rainbows” starts the lineup, followed by an introduction where she shares her motivation for joining the Valueverse—a decentralized, fan-supported approach to music distribution. Throughout the show, listeners are treated to performances from a diverse set of V4V artists, including Ainsley Costello, Two Weeks in Nashville, The Doerfels, and more. Between sets, Jessie discusses her experiences transitioning from the traditional music industry to the Valueverse, comparing the freedom and direct artist-audience connection it provides. Other standout moments include Jessie discovering Abi Muir’s “Stockholm”, sharing her love for Monica Larrea’s “Sensitive”, and discussing the emotional depth of Sara Jade’s “Singin’ Woman”. The show closes with a special version of “rainbows (i saw her in green)”, leaving listeners with a powerful final note.
