I Ain't Ever Growing Up: Volume 2 serves up another round of high-octane misadventures, from carefree day drinking to a wild stint in a Mexican jail, topped off with a dash of summer romance in its lead single, "Small Town Girls." Southern California's own outlaw rocker Tom Ciurczak has infused this second volume with an even stronger California cruisin' vibe, making it the perfect soundtrack for a drive up Pacific Coast Highway when you want fresh rock 'n' roll energy.

Ciurczak’s music stands out with its infectious guitar hooks, witty lyrics, and memorable choruses, all brought to life by a top-tier recording team known for working with the best in the business. Fans of classic '80s rock will recognize influences from Tom Petty, Eddie Money, Bruce Springsteen, and Warren Zevon, mixed with Ciurczak's unique touch of humor and unexpected narrative twists.

As music critic Robin James puts it, "These tracks are compelling stories of the human experience, free from moralizing, leaving listeners to interpret them in their own way."

On "Mexican Jail," a single bad decision spirals into deeper trouble, capturing the chaos of waking up without bail. The allure of romance, a timeless muse, takes center stage in "Lie To Me," a breezy tune that plays with the fantasy of love. "Day Drinker" ramps up the energy with scorching guitar riffs, portraying the wild intensity of burning the candle at both ends - something we can all relate to on those particularly wild days.

The album features an impressive lineup of musical talent. Ciurczak’s lead vocals and acoustic guitar are complemented by backing vocals from Harrison Crenshaw and Jayme Palmer. Matt Hornbeck’s electric guitar and Travis Carlton’s bass add depth, while Aaron Durr, Steven Haaker, and Matt Lomeo contribute on keyboards, drums, and harmonica, respectively. Recorded at LA’s Perfect Sound Studios, the album was expertly mastered, produced, and engineered by Brett Grossman and Stephen Haaker.

Live, Ciurczak and his energetic band get crowds moving at venues across Los Angeles and Orange County. Upcoming performances include a record release party on June 22nd at The Mint, with tickets priced at just $15, and another show at the iconic Whiskey a Go-Go on August 15th.

Born in New York, Tom Ciurczak finds inspiration from musical legends and has honed his songwriting skills at Steve Earle's workshops. His debut album, Call Me Ishmael, was celebrated for its feel-good rock 'n' roll vibe, climbing into the top 150 on the AMA charts. This success spurred a series of albums, including I Ain’t Growing Up Volumes I and II, California Christmas Tales, and more slated for release in 2025.

I Ain't Ever Growin' Up Volumes I and II are available in both CD and digital formats, offering fans a fresh take on classic rock.
