Founded in 2014, Ghostland was created by The Ghost of Paul Revere – Max Davis, Sean McCarthy, and Griffin Sherry – to celebrate the natural beauty and communal spirit of their hometown and home state with music and great food. In fact, Maine has embraced the spirit of camaraderie Ghostland embodies and declared the band’s song the “Ballad Of The 20thMaine” as the Official State Ballad of Maine last year.

Continuing Ghostland’s tradition of community spirit and phenomenal music, this year features an intimate evening performance on Friday night at Port City Music Hall with Mipso on support. The Ghost of Paul Revere will play one traditional set of songs from their catalog and one special cover set. Tickets for this performance are only available with the purchase of a 2-day GA or VIP pass to Ghostland. The festival will conclude on Saturday at Thompson’s Point with Deer Tick, The Mallett Brothers Band, and Bell Systems. 

Speaking on the history of Ghostland, Griffin Sherry says, “In 2014, we decided to deviate from the normal course of an up and coming band and create and curate our own, homegrown music festival. We parked cars, set up port-a-potties, cooked dinner for the bands and started Ghostland. From day one, we wanted to create an experience for our community, inspired and built upon the very music we cherished. Now, six years later, Ghostland has become bigger than ever. We have an opportunity to bring in bands we truly admire, elevate local causes and businesses to a huge audience, and establish a gathering for our friends, family, and community that will hopefully outlast us. We strive, every year, for a bigger and more memorable experience than the last and hope that the love we have for this music, this community, and this state continues to grow Ghostland into one of the great American music gatherings.”

Additionally, $1 from every festival ticket sold will be donated to the sTAY Strong Foundation. Founded in 2019 in loving memory of Taylor Steeves (a close friend of The Ghost of Paul Revere), the sTAY Strong Foundation provides assistance to those affected by genetic forms of lung cancer. Through fundraising and community efforts, they work to increase awareness and provide education about this largely misunderstood form of lung cancer.

As to why it’s important for the festival to give back, Sean McCarthy says, “Ghostland was started with the idea to create something for the community that made us who we are. Inspired by the music, the people and the home we love, we want to give back. It’s in this spirit and in memory of our brother Taylor that we’re thrilled to announce that one dollar of every ticket sold will go to the sTAY Strong Foundation.”

Following Ghostland 2019 and the release of their EP, Field Notes, Vol. 2, The Ghost of Paul Revere are gearing up to release new music. Stay tuned for more to come this year!
