CONWAY — What happens when a former New York Times music critic, a Beatles biographer, a classic rock icon, and a constellation of legendary regional and international musicians walk onto the same stage in the White Mountains? Local concertgoers and radio listeners are about to find out.

For 13 years, host Jonathan Sarty has anchored The Cold River Radio Show, a live stage variety performance broadcast every Sunday at 9 a.m. on 93.5 WMWV (and streamed at WMWV.com). The show has long served as a cultural hub for the region, bringing an eclectic mix of top-tier authors, touring musicians, and artists to local audiences. But a pair of upcoming appearances is shedding light on just how much world-class talent sits on that stage year after year.
