The March 13 show will also mark the Mountain Stage debuts of NPR's favorite "Irish Punch Brothers" We Banjo 3, energetic folk-poppers Star & Micey and Minnesota jazz-blues band Davina and The Vagabonds, whose sassy, soulful sound will bring any Lake Street Dive or Alabama Shakes fan to their feet.
