About The Dapper Gents
The Dapper Gents
The Dapper Gents are a folk-rock band from Portland, ME, are known for their eclectic mix of popular hits and deeper cuts, all enriched with vibrant cello solos. Available as a versatile duo, quartet, or DJ, they are the perfect choice for wedding ceremonies, cocktail hours, receptions, and private parties. Serving New England and beyond. The current lineup features Jacob McCurdy on vocals and guitar, Danny Rand on cello, Stu Gurley on upright bass, and Jonathan Clement on drums and vocals. They bring a unique twist to pop, rock, and folk hits from artists such as Mumford and Sons, The Pixies, The Lumineers, and Alabama Shakes.
We love playing the songs that we play, the fact that we don't play the same old song that you'd hear at every other wedding, your night will be unforgettable. Also, you've probably never heard a cello played the way that Danny Rand shreds. Using guitar FX pedals, he can sound like a lead guitar, synth, bass or just a regular old cello.

Amazing addition!
The Dapper Gents were a fantastic addition to our wedding day. Their communication was prompt and helpful as we coordinated the details for their acoustic set during our ceremony and cocktail hour. Their music added a fun, classy touch that everyone enjoyed (think Bridgerton vibes ;)). We were thrilled with the quality of their work and the value they provided. I would highly recommend The Dapper Gents to any couple looking to elevate their wedding with live music.
Great wedding band!
It was a pleasure to work with the Dapper Gents for our wedding. We really loved their repertoire and they did a great job adding some additional instrumentals for our first dance. They kept the dance floor moving the whole night! I would definitely recommend them for a friend's wedding.
Amazing music for all parts of our day!
My fiancé and I got married at a barn venue in Dayton, Maine on 5/18 and had the Dapper Gents for our ceremony, reception and cocktail hour. We saw them in Portland and loved them right away. They were timely and responsive leading up to the wedding and carefully considered our requests. They also set up a sound system and music stand for my grandma who officiated. Their ceremony acoustic music was beautiful and the cocktail hour music was wonderful in the background. They were able to dj some special requests for first dance/ parent dances then had all our guests dancing for the reception. They really struck a balance between playing our favorites and going with what the crowd was loving- we had guests from 5 to 75 dancing all night! We cannot recommend the Gents enough, they made our reception so fun and memorable.
Best wedding band ever!!!
The Dapper Gents were the absolute perfect live band for our wedding. Jake especially is super awesome to work with and has so much experience with the industry that it was completely stress free for us. Our wedding was at a camp on Sebago Lake and The Dapper Gents fit our music vibe to a T. And they DELIVERED. From setting up, ceremony, cocktail hour, to reception everything was so so smooth. Our guests were so impressed with their talent and we spent the entire night dancing. We also highly recommend seeing them live as we discovered them first seeing them live at Bull Feeney’s in Portland. You will no regrets booking this band!!
