The Ghost of Paul Revere is a four-piece folk/ Americana group from Portland and is appearing on the sanctuary stage at the Houlton Unitarian Church on Saturday, Nov. 15 at 7 p.m.
Born of the waters of the Saco River, brothers in all but name, The Ghost of Paul Revere builds their songs around powerful three-part harmonies, energetic performances and a non-traditional way of interpreting traditional American music.
The Ghost draws from a broad array of influences including Elmore James and the Beatles, to Tom Waits and more. The Ghost writes powerful songs, built on melody and energy, designed to be performed with passion. From folk to foot-stomping bluegrass, the songs have unique identities while still remaining undeniably the Ghost of Paul Revere.
The band features Griffin Sherry on guitar, Max Davis on banjo, Sean McCarthy on bass and Matt Young on mandolin and harmonica. Their live show has quickly attained legendary status, with fans traveling unholy distances from the most remote corners of Maine to catch the band on their way up. Paste Magazine has listed The Ghost as one of the top nine bands in the state of Maine.
Tickets for the concert are available at the County Co-Op, Visions and The Cup Cafe. Tickets are $14 advance, $16 at the door and children under 12 are free.
