HOULTON, Maine — The Ghost of Paul Revere is returning to Houlton for a fall concert on Saturday, Nov. 7, 2015 at the Unitarian Universalist Church. It marks the second straight year that the band is performing in Houlton.
“The response was so great last year we decided to invite the guys back,” says minister Rev. David Hutchinson. The show begins at 7 p.m. with the doors opening at 6 p.m.
Born of the waters of the Saco River, brothers in all but name, the Ghost of Paul Revere is Maine’s holler-folk band. Building 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.
Ghost members write 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. 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.
The performance will be held in the church’s sanctuary at the corner of Military and Kelleran streets. Advance tickets are $18 and are available at the County Co-Op, Visions, and The Cup Cafe. Tickets at the door are $20 and children under 12 are free. Concessions will also be available during a short intermission and The Cup Cafe will be open in the basement before and after the show.
