ROCKLAND — Rhythm and Blues artist Son Little will appear on the Strand Theatre stage on Sunday, July 2, at 7:30 p.m. 

Praised by American Songwriter as "one of the best songwriters working today,” Son Little conceived his latest album, Like Neptune, in a cabin overlooking the Delaware River in upstate New York.

“Trading in the existential dread permeating his previous work for unbridled joy and self-acceptance, Little transmutes the chronic pain of self-doubt into a beautiful and freeing opus about overcoming generational trauma,” said the Strand, in a news release.

Little’s singing is most strongly informed by the vintage soul and R&B that's always been his bread and butter, but his instrumentation is more strongly beholden to contemporary R&B and hip-hop, rooted in grooves that are contemporary while still connected to their old-school roots.

Tickets are $25/Advance, $28/Day of Show. of Show. Beer and wine are available at concessions. To buy tickets, or for more information, visit www.rocklandstrand.com or call (207) 594-0070.
