History

The label was established by Mark Hodges, a Floyd County, Virginia native. He opened the Something To Do Video store, which he turned into a successful chain of stores. As a hobby, he began to record his musician friends when they would visit, and he turned this hobby into a stand-alone 72-track recording studio, and then the record label.[2]

Sammy Shelor of the Lonesome River Band and Aaron Ramsey of Mountain Heart have engineered and mastered Mountain Fever projects.[2]

Notable projects

In 2017, Mountain Fever Records released the Mac Wiseman album I Sang the Song (Life of the Voice with a Heart) featuring contributions from John Prine, Alison Krauss, Sierra Hull, Junior Sisk, Shawn Camp, and Andrea Zonn.[2]

Travianna Records

Travianna Records is a child label for releasing Americana music. After Jack, Ash Breeze, Pi Jacobs, and Tara Dente are among the Travianna Records artists.[2] The label was named after the late Samuel A’Court's communal farm Travianna in Floyd County.[3]
