About The Band

The Dapper Gents Established themselves in the winter of 2012 due to high demand for Jacob McCurdy to take his solo act to the upstairs stage at Bull Feeney’s. Mick Ramos (guitar), Scott Michel (bass), Johnny Clay Shanks (vocals/guitar), and Eric P. Winter (drums) provided the fuel for The Gents to make their debut. Playing classics like “Where is My Mind” by the Pixies and “Ho Hey” by The Lumineers, they began to draw quite an audience. A few months later they were joined by Danny Rand (Cello) and Mike Maurice (Keys) and were able to take the gents to a whole new level.

They have since played countless weddings and private parties but keep to their roots playing in Portlands Old Port on a regular basis. Eventually, the other talents of some of the band’s members began to borrow them on a more full-time basis. Leaving Danny and Jake as the core members of The Dapper Gents.
