Jacob McCurdy and His Large Adult Sons to perform on the Rockland library lawn
ROCKLAND — Local musician Jacob McCurdy will bring his indie-Americana sound to the Rockland Public Library next week for an evening of folk, rock, and roots music under the open sky.
The free concert is scheduled for 6 p.m. Thursday, July 30, on the library lawn at 80 Union Street. Attendees of all ages are encouraged to bring blankets or lawn chairs and enjoy what organizers promise will be a memorable summer evening. In case of rain, the event will move to Aug. 4 at the same time and location.
McCurdy, known for his distinctive mustache and emotionally open songwriting, has built a reputation across Maine's music scene for blending genres into his own unique brand of Americana. His performances are marked by what listeners describe as honest lyricism and soulful melodies—songs that invite audiences to connect with the artist's personal experiences.
For this performance, McCurdy will be backed by his band, His Large Adult Sons. The ensemble features Alex Calabrese on bass and vocals, a collaborator who has contributed writing and production to nearly all of McCurdy's songs since 2020. Jonathan Clement handles drums and vocals, having helped reshape the track "To Be Found" while also performing with The Dapper Gents. Mike Maurice brings keys and vocals, contributing his own solo work and co-writing "Trouble" with McCurdy. Xander Nelson rounds out the sound on lead guitar and vocals, known otherwise for his work with Toby McAlister & The Sierra Sounds. Rounding out the lineup, Dylan Sorenson plays saxophone—having originally coined the band's unusual name.
The library lawn provides an intimate backdrop for McCurdy's reflective style. According to promotional materials, the artist shares his songs with the hope that listeners might find healing through his experiences and glimpse something hopeful about what lies ahead.
