The Sperryville Summer Concert Series is back and kicks off with Rebecca Porter and the Rhinestone Roses. Raised in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley and born in Guam, Rebecca Porter’s bold songwriting and striking voice blend Appalachia with Pacific Island warmth. Her 2023 EP Queen of the Local and 2025 debut Roll with the Punches have earned national acclaim from NPR’s Mountain Stage, No Depression, The Bluegrass Situation, KEXP, and Lonesome Highway. Expect a dynamic six-piece band featuring guitars, fiddle, pedal steel, bass, and drums.

The annual series has become a HUGE HIT, and runs over five months, May through September. This year’s lineup includes returning and new top local bands appearing on the Sperryville stage in the River District, at 6PM every third Thursday, with rain dates every fourth Thursday, each month.

The concerts are located near the beautiful confluence of the north and south branches of the Thornton River, at the end of River Lane (accessed from Water Street) next to Copper Fox Antiques and Copper Fox Distillery. For those using GPS, the address is 7 River Lane, Sperryville, VA 22740.
