ROCKLAND — The Rockland Public Library presents Louisa Stancioff and the Kelly Brothers, Thursday, August 24, at 6 p.m., on the lawn of the Rockland Public Library. This event is free and open to all; the rain date will be Tuesday, September 5, at 6 p.m.. 

Midcoast Maine-based Louisa Stancioff is an indie singer-songwriter. Stancioff 's Bulgarian heritage shows through in her intricate melodies, having grown up learning traditional Bulgarian music from her paternal grandfather’s side of the family; growing up, she also enjoyed singing American folk and roots tunes with her friends. She often accompanies herself with an electric guitar.

Stancioff is originally from Chesterville, and currently lives in Camden. Her new single Red Neck Yaught Club for Yep Roc Records is streaming now: https://ffm.to/redneckyaughtclub.  

Her bandmates, Dave and Dan Kelly, are brothers from Bucksport who have grown up on the stage. They started playing in bands in elementary school, including playing with their father, local artist Willy Kelly. Together, their set list typically includes Stancioff ’s original songs with a few covers thrown in. 

“Bring your picnic blankets and lawn chairs from home and join us on the lawn outside the library for what’s sure to be a fun evening,” said Rockland Public Library, in a news release.

The Rockland Public Library is located at 80 Union Street, Rockland, Maine. For more information, please email elewis@rocklandmaine.gov.
