The Ghost of Paul Revere was a folk music trio originating from Portland, Maine, featuring members Max Davis, Sean McCarthy, and Griffin Sherry. The group achieved nationwide attention after appearing on the TBS late-night program Conan in January 2018. During the period from late 2017 through their 2018 touring schedule, pianist and accordion player Ben Cosgrove joined the ensemble, temporarily transforming it into a quartet.
On June 7, 2019, their track "Ballad of the 20th Maine," penned by Griffin Sherry as a tribute to the 20th Maine Volunteer Infantry Regiment, was officially adopted as the state ballad of Maine. This accolade significantly boosted their prominence within the region.
Following their participation in the Ghostland Festival in April 2022, the band announced via Instagram that they would be dissolving.
