The Ghost of Paul Revere were an American folk trio from Portland, Maine composed of Max Davis, Sean McCarthy and Griffin Sherry.[1][2] The band made their national debut when they appeared as the musical guest on the TBS talk show, Conan, in January of 2018.[3][4]

In late 2017 and continuing through to their 2018 tour, the band was joined by pianist and accordionist Ben Cosgrove[5] to make a quartet.

On June 7, 2019 The Ghost of Paul Revere song "Ballad of the 20th Maine" became the official state ballad of Maine.[6] The song, written by Griffin Sherry, commemorates the 20th Maine Volunteer Infantry Regiment.[7]

On April 18, 2022, in an Instagram post, the trio announced they will be disbanding following the Ghostland Festival.
