Rockville, a local roots rock band with a unique blend of folk, country, blues, and reggae, recently released their debut album, Shine.

Band members include Aaron Englander (vocals, guitar, banjo) Allison Redding (vocals, keyboard), Matt Hill (vocals, lead guitar), Johannes Nightingale (flute, guitar), Ray Montana (bass) and Ryan Cordiner (drums).

"Rockville is one of many active bands in Midcoast Maine’s vibrant local music scene that builds inclusive community spirit at shows up and down the Midcoast all summer long," said the news release.
