NORTHEAST COUNTRY COALITION PRESENTS:

“Originals Only” featuring Rebecca Porter, Nolan Lunsford, And Ricky Stein…

Rebecca Porter is a singer-songwriter born in Guam and raised in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, who has forged her way in country music with songs that are heartfelt and honest. Through a decade’s worth of live performance with Harrisonburg-Rockingham County area musicians, Porter learned the ropes of life as a performing and recording artist. Porter balances her distinctive storytelling with the dynamics of her commanding voice in a unique display of soulful classic country.

Nolan Lunsford is pushing the lyrical form of country music while still holding onto many of its hallmark sounds; crying pedal steel, bluegrass harmonies and big cowboy chord acoustic guitars. Nolan’s songwriting aims to get at the heart of the matter, bypassing country cliches for a more specific story.

Ricky Stein’s music vies for equal footing between two of his strongest influences: traditional roots-rock/Americana and progressive indie-rock. A reverence for music history combined with the desire to create something different and new drives the Austin-born, NYC-based singer/songwriter to make music that reflects the spirit of his hometown, both past and present.
