Rebecca Porter heralds her act as “Virginia’s country music powerhouse,” and you’d be right to put your Stetson boots on. Porter and her backing band the Rhinestone Roses ride high on the wave of modern country while delivering a kick to the genre’s classic tropes. As a Pacific Islander living in rural Virginia, Porter writes from experience about trauma, discrimination, and the challenges of motherhood, and she stands up to declare that country music is for everyone. With Cassidy Snider & the Wranglers plus Jim & Juice.
