Ghost of Paul Revere frontman Griffin William Sherry emerges with solo album

The Ghost of Paul Revere (https://www.ghostofpaulrevere.com/) announced its breakup in April of 2022 and fans of the Maine-based folk trio were heartbroken. The band said it had become more difficult to make records and tour while maintaining their friendship and the latter was more important.






But 2024 brought about two rays of sunshine in the world of Ghost fans: The band has released a 10th anniversary, 180-gram vinyl reissue of its most successful release, Believe (https://americanavibesshop.com/produc...) . And lead singer and primary songwriter Griffin William Sherry (https://www.griffinwilliamsherry.com/) is back with a new album and tour. He told us the sound difference in his new solo work and what fans loved with Ghost isn’t that different.






He also said, “Never say never,” to the question of a reunion of the original band.






Sherry not only sat in with Frank and Falls on Roots Music Rambler this week, but became the first artist to play “live” during the show recording. He performed a solo acoustic rendition of his song “Juliet” from his new album Hundred Mile Wilderness.   






Falls shares the latest purchase to accompany his growing record collection. Frank and Falls also talk about free concert series at several communities around the country where you can sometimes catch great Americana acts for free. Falls also calls on our listeners to let us know of free concert series where great acts often play. We’re curating a list. 






The hosts also offer up their picks for new music for you to discover this week in the Pickin’ the Grinnin’ segment of the show.






Don’t forget you can now show your support of the show with Roots Music Rambler’s new merch, now available at rootsmusicrambler.com/store (https://rootsmusicrambler.com/store) . Authentic t-shirts, hats and stickers are now available. 






Buckle up for The Hoe-Down and the Throw-Down! It’s a new episode of Roots Music Rambler.
