Rebecca Porter
Rebecca Porter brings together Appalachia and the Pacific Islands with her singular style of honky tonkin’ country. Born in Guam and raised in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, she delivers raw, personal storytelling with lyrical grit and a voice that commands attention. Known for electrifying live performances, Porter’s songs balance the rugged spirit of traditional country with an unapologetic, genre-bending journey of identity, resilience, and cinematic intensity.
Colin Cutler
Colin Cutler’s music stretches across the American roots music world, from acoustic oldtime and alt country to electric blues and rock’n’roll, with touches of bluegrass and jam band energy.
The last couple years have seen them playing at Merlefest, Shakori Hills Grassroots Festival, the North Carolina Folk Festival, the Susquehanna Folk Festival, Antlers and Acorns Songwriters Festival, and the Carolina Bible Camp Bluegrass Festival, while selling out Greensboro’s Flat Iron and touring for shows from Georgia to Indiana’s Notre Dame University. Tarwater, their first release as a band, reached the top 20 in both Folk and Alt Country radio charts on its release.
Audrey Smith
A native of the North Carolina Piedmont, Audrey Smith writes music from the heart, one molded within her rich cultural heritage of the North Carolina Piedmont. Heavily influenced by North Carolina icons Doc Watson, Etta Baker, and her time spent in south Louisiana over the last decade, Audrey often draws comparisons to the likes of Mary Gauthier, Gillian Welch, and Nanci Griffith. Equally at home in concert halls and dive bars, her songs honor traditional country and southern folk, with a unique sound dancing between the lines of bluegrass, radio country, and the Piedmont blues.
