Jacob Augustine album release with Pearla and Little Oso

The singular Maine songwriter celebrates the release of I Love You Forever, his first new album in a decade, with a full band and special guests.

Jacob Augustine is an experimental folk musician from the northern woods of Maine. Over his two decades as one of the most influential and beloved vocalists and songwriters in the state, he’s reached an enigmatic, near mythic status; touring the country back and forth, releasing records in a flurry, headlining bigger and bigger stages, then disappearing from public eye for years at a time, and back again. Augustine’s records range from heavily-orchestrated, bombastic full-band affairs to raw, stripped-down solo recordings to eccentric, genre-hopping studio projects, but they always center his immediately recognizable voice. The Portland Press Herald writes, “Jacob Augustine has one gilded set of pipes. A diamond in the rough.”

His latest LP, a decade in the making, features Hamilton Belk on pedal steel, Asher Platts on bass, and Peter McLaughlin on drums, with string orchestrations by Peter Broderick. I Love Your Forever is out May 22nd on Team Love Records.

Pearla is the indie pop project of Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter Nicole Rodriguez. Her full-length debut, Oh Glistening Onion, The Nighttime Is Coming, conjures a mix of emotive weight and expansive instrumentation, pulling from the canons of folk rock, indie singer/songwriters, and art pop.

Little Oso is a dream pop/indie rock band from Portland, Maine. Originating as a bedroom pop duo, the band became a quintet in 2024. They’ve released three EPs, leading up to the band’s debut full-length, How Lucky To Be Somebody, released by U.S. label Repeating Cloud and UK label Safe Suburban Home in 2025.
