Rebecca Porter & The Rhinestone Roses

Rebecca Porter embodies the soulful, lonesome sound of the Shenandoah Valley. After a decade of honing her craft as the frontwoman of local cover bands, she transformed pandemic loneliness into two EPs - “Prime Rainbow Conditions” and “Queen of the Local”, the latter of which was successfully crowdfunded in March 2023. Porter tours extensively and audiences continue to react wonderfully to Porter's fusion of honky tonk and singer-songwriter sounds with her tight, professional band, The Rhinestone Roses. With completely independent legwork, Porter's music is making rounds nationally and internationally.  

Terri Allard Trio

Award-winning singer-songwriter, Terri Allard, combines sultry sweetness and grit with an intimately personal writing style, lending a strong, authentic voice to the Americana music scene. On each of Allard’s five notable recordings, her original material chronicles the highs and lows of living day-to-day. Her co-writing credits include collaborating with five-time Grammy Award winner Mary Chapin Carpenter on the stirring ode Anna Carolyn. She’s also garnered a WAMMIE (Washington Area Music Award) for Best Female Country Vocalist. Gary Green is a world champion harmonica player based out of Charlottesville, Virginia. His long history in music includes work with artists Terri Allard, Scott Kirby, Cleve Francis, Calie Garrett, William Walter and Peyton Tochterman with recent guest appearances with Jimmy Buffett, Keith Sykes, Peter Mayer, and Brendan Mayer. Many Central Virginia folks remember Sonny Layne as the bass player for Johnny Sportcoat and the Casuals. He’s played with Terri since ’95 and is also the bass player for the Buzzard Hollow Boys.
