Upon finding out that he won the Fender Contender Challenge in April, Jared Porter knew that the Country Summer festival in Santa Rosa, Calif., was going to be a big one. Not only did Porter take home a monetary prize from the fan-voted contest, but he also earned an opening spot at the festival, which featured headliners like Jake Owen, the Band Perry and Brantley Gilbert.
In this exclusive video, Porter talks about his Country Summer experience and performing alongside his friends Matty Newton (guitar), Reece Baines (drums), Damon Whiteley (bass) and guitarist Jared Adlam (guitar).
