Look forward to a new date with Rory and his band soon!

Experience 'A Spectacle By The Sea' at the Rockport Opera House, featuring Rory McBride and his band.

A recently-minted Maine resident who frequently circuits New York, Paris, and Tokyo, Rory has earned local and coastal acclaim as the "Sonic Rocker by The Sea.' American singer and poet Rory McBride creates soft psychedelic folk rock characterized by blues and spiritual music.

For the past two summers, he has entertained audiences on boats and at private events along Highway 1. This show will feature a selection of songs from his 'Sonic Holiday' repertoire, along with other favorites from his extensive music catalog." During the pandemic, he exited urban life and turned to nature, spending time reading and writing poetry and laying the groundwork for his eponymous debut LP. Much time was spent off the grid in southwest Wisconsin and in the backwoods of various Amish farms. Reflecting on his deep dive into the classics, McBride observed, “On studying poets, I was given the golden keys into the vaults of cadence, rhythm, rhyme and aesthetics of language itself.” Rory's initial output was naturally uncomplicated and hypnotic, evoking the work of Jim Morrison and John Lennon with a tightness of lyrical images and stylistic maneuvering that called to mind early Bob Dylan.
