Music stitches together a strong community around The Ghost of Paul Revere. The Maine four piece —Max Davis [vocals, banjo], Sean McCarthy [vocals, bass], Griffin Sherry [vocals, guitar] and Chuck Gagne [vocals, drums]—examine life’s ebbs and flows through a distinct and dynamic distillation of folk, rock and alternative. Since forming in 2011, the band has created a following that has propelled them from a local to a national level. After releasing the EP North in 2012, their signature style progressed garnering acclaim from Billboard, Boston Globe, AXS, No Depression, Relix, and The Boot, who appropriately dubbed them, “not quite bluegrass, not quite country, not quite rock ‘n’ roll, but kind of all three combined.The band has performed alongside The Avett Brothers, Jason Isbell, The Revivalists, Bela Fleck, and The Infamous Stringdusters, sold out countless headlining gigs, and appeared at major festivals nationwide.

“The Maine-grown, foot-stompin’ holler-folk quartet create the type of music for which festivals are made.”—The Boston Globe

Oshima Brothers

Maine-based indie duo, Oshima Brothers’ have been creating music together since childhood. The brothers blend songs from the heart with blood harmonies to produce a “roots-based pop sound that is infectious.” (NPR). On stage, Sean and Jamie offer lush vocals, live looping, foot percussion, electric and acoustic guitars, vintage keyboard and bass—often all at once. They want every show to feel like a deep breath, a dance party and a sonic embrace. Maine Public Radio’s Sara Willis describes their songs as “beautiful, those brother harmonies can’t be beat. They are uplifting and, let’s
face it, we need uplifting these days.”
Coyote Island

Coyote Island is a four-piece band and the musical vision of Mike O’Hehir, a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter from Maine. After writing folk songs for many years, O’Hehir began exploring different genres including pop, rhythm & blues, South American & African percussion, 60’s surf rock, and reggae. The result is a style of music that’s truly unique. It’s uplifting, playful, and radio friendly, yet carries a deep message to the listener. It’s about embracing the human journey, coming together, finding peace, and having fun.

There may be no more uplifting sight in bluegrass than watching the irrepressible Sam Bush rock the stage.

Founder of the rock/bluegrass fusion band, New Grass Revival, and innovator of the “newgrass” genre, Bush is a dynamic, joyous performer, and among the most entertaining artists in acoustic music. Masterful on mandolin and fiddle, Bush loves his music and his fans love him.

Revered for both his solo and sideman work, which includes Emmylou Harris, Lyle Lovett, and Béla Fleck, he has soaked up honors such as an Americana Music Association Lifetime Achievement Award and suite of Grammys and International Bluegrass Music Association trophies, and 2020 inductee into the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame as a member of New Grass Revival. Bush still strives relentlessly to create something new.

Raised on a farm just outside of Bowling Green, Kentucky, Bush grew up plowing tobacco fields in the Southern summer heat alongside his family. He started playing mandolin when he was 11 years old. “I believe growing up on a farm probably helped me channel my energy into learning music and being so interested in it,” Bush says. “Me and my sisters, we all loved it. I’ve often wondered if that’s because growing up on a farm, you couldn’t go ride your bike all over town and horse around like the other kids.” For Bush, a lifetime of channeling his energy has led to stylistic innovations that have changed the course of bluegrass and roots music alike.
