About Cormac McCarthy:

*Cormac McCarthy is considered one the finest singer/songwriters that New England has ever produced.  He was called by the Boston Globe, “A leading light of the urban songwriter revival…” who proclaimed his 4th album Curious Thing a “soft-spoken triumph.” His album, Picture Gallery Blues was called “an unassuming masterpiece” by The Boston Phoenix.Cormac continues to grow as an artist and it’s evident on his newest album, Collateral.  It’s the product of wisdom and experience with lyrics and images “too precise to be anything but truth.” (Portsmouth Herald).

“A distinctive songwriter with a warm, powerful, inherently melodic baritone, a fine guitarist and a devastating wit … enormous writing gifts, capable of putting chills into your spine or a silly grin on your face…” – Jeff  McLaughlin, The Boston Globe

About the Loading Dock Concert Series:

The Loading Dock Concert Series at 3S Artspace is back this summer with new regional acts and fan favorites in the lineup! This year, we're giving you the opportunity choose your own 3S adventure: arrive at a time that works for you; hang out outside in the Loading Dock area for the show; grab a summer pils from Liar's Bench; and take some time to explore the Gallery, Lobby Gallery, and Shop at 3S.

Plus, we have shows on Saturdays at 7pm for those of you who love the classic magic hour vibes of the Loading Dock. We also have shows on Sundays at 3pm for family-friendly vibes and for those of you who prefer their live music served up before dinner time.
