Griffin William Sherry & his friends bring their unique blend of folk, country, and rock & roll back to The Grand! Inspired by his rural Maine roots, he continues to bring together a signature style of visceral, masterful songwriting and powerhouse performance all his own. 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 Conan, and garnered millions of streams across all platforms. 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 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 latest singles both embody the spirit of collaboration. Cathedral of Pine, written in conjunction with the PODSONGS podcast and Maine-based writer Jenna Rozzelle, blends dark, cinematic folk and pounding synths with a tale of hunter and prey set deep in the North Woods. Cross the Bridge was co-written with acclaimed New England playwright and screenwriter, Ernest Thompson, for his newest movie The Constituent.
