<p>The Mountain Music Happy Hour is a Value 4 Value music show where we automatically switch to the artists’ wallet when playing their songs. Unless otherwise noted, 95% of all value sent during a time-split in a modern podcast app, or thought the Split Kit page, will be sent directly to the artist(s) of the song being played.</p>
<h2 id="episode-summary">Episode Summary</h2>
<p>Welcome back to another round of Mountain Music Happy Hour! In this Value 4 Value music showcase, we’re serving up a handpicked selection of independent and emerging artists who bring raw talent, heartfelt storytelling, and foot-stomping melodies to your ears.</p>
<p>This week’s episode is a journey through sound, from introspective ballads to high-energy folk-infused anthems. We kick things off with Almost December’s evocative Is This It, setting the tone for an episode packed with soulful vocals, intricate instrumentals, and lyrics that linger long after the last note fades. Ben Doerfel’s Emma Rose and Ollie’s Late Night Drinking bring a mix of nostalgia and late-night reflections, while The Bottomless and The Plowboys keep things moving with gritty, down-home storytelling.</p>
<p>Midway through, we find silver linings in Anders Fransson’s aptly named Silver Lining before diving into the anthemic The Trusted with Terrible Fight. Indie-Americana vibes come strong with Able and The Wolf’s Stay Awhile and Joe Martin’s Empty Passenger Seat. And just when you think we’re slowing down, Jessie Lark’s Daddy and Cory Owens & The Old Quarry Boys’ Some Day Soon hit with emotional depth and authenticity.</p>
<p>Rounding out the mix, The No Good Redwood Ramblers bring some West Coast charm with California Chrome, while Survival Guide gives us a rebellious edge with Fight Me. Alicia Stockman reminds us of life’s smaller, beautiful moments with Little Dog, and Two Weeks In Nashville turn melancholy into a groove with Be Happy (You Got Something To Be Sad About). Finally, we close out on a high note with Suzanne Santo’s Worried, Abel James’ soulful Don’t Wait for the Morning, and Rick Black’s mysterious 24.07.30.</p>
<p>As always, this show thrives on the Value 4 Value model, meaning if you enjoy what you hear, consider giving back in whatever way makes sense—whether that’s sharing the episode, supporting the artists directly, or sending some value our way.</p>
<p>Grab a drink, kick back, and enjoy the ride. Mountain Music Happy Hour starts now! 🎶🍻</p>
