Griffin William Sherry & His Band
Griffin William Sherry & His Band bring their unique blend of folk, country, and rock & roll back to Washington D.C. Inspired by his rural Maine roots, he continues to bring his signature style of visceral, heartfelt, and passionate songwriting to audiences all across the country.
In 2011, he founded the band The Ghost of Paul Revere, capturing the hearts and minds of countless fans with a series of acclaimed albums and years of touring both nationally and internationally. He established his own Maine music festival in 2014, performed on late night television, and garnered millions of streams. In 2019, his song "The Ballad of the 20th Maine" became the official Maine State Ballad, securing The Ghost of Paul Revere's place in Maine music history. In the fall of 2024, Griffin released his debut solo album, Hundred Mile Wilderness. Recorded in Nashville, at the famous Sound Emporium Studios with acclaimed producer Eddie Spear, and featuring ten all new, all original songs that further expand on Griffin’s extensive and beloved catalog of music. The first single, “Reflections,” released June 26th, 2024, is, as Griffin puts it, “a song about confronting big changes in your life and having to stare down the idea of who you were in order to discover who you want to be”. His newest single, Cathedral of Pine, was written in conjunction with PODSONGS and Maine-based writer, Jenna Rozzelle. It blends together dark, cinematic folk and pounding synths, pulling the listener into a Stephen King-esque tale of hunter and prey set deep in the North Woods.
