Taylor Hunnicutt Brings Alabama Fire to Piper’s Opera House

Virginia City’s historic Piper’s Opera House is set to ignite this Saturday with the soulful Southern rock of Taylor Hunnicutt, an Alabama-born powerhouse whose music is a love letter to her roots. As Saving Country Music raves, “It’s a little bit country, a lot of Southern rock, a good bit of soul, and some incredibly emotive performances...that will have you shaking your head in disbelief.” Hunnicutt’s gritty vocals and high-energy shows have earned her comparisons to Wynonna and Janis Joplin, cementing her as a rising star in roots music. Check out her tracks “Queen of Alabama” and “Runaway” on YouTube to feel the raw swagger of her sound, blending country storytelling with rock ‘n’ roll rebellion.

The “For the Song” Charitable Fund, in partnership with Visit Virginia City, has poured over $24,000 into bringing four nationally touring acts to Piper’s Opera House this summer, ensuring Northern Nevada gets a taste of world-class talent in iconic venues. They’ve secured electrifying opening acts like Rose’s Pawn Shop, performing free at the Red Dog Saloon at 6 p.m. before Hunnicutt’s 7:30 p.m. set at Piper’s, with a post-show party back at the Red Dog.

This isn’t a profit-driven venture—it’s a labor of love to bring exceptional music to the community. Every dollar from ticket sales goes directly to the artists, supporting talents like Hunnicutt who might otherwise bypass Northern Nevada. Virginia City and Storey County locals can grab tickets for just $20 with proof of residence at the Red Dog Saloon or Visitors Center, a steal for a night of unforgettable music.
