“Simply put, this band is one to see live... their performance takes on a boot-clacking brilliance that transforms each song into a full-on participatory event, sending an electric surge about the room that’s near impossible not to feel. Add to that a layered three part harmony coursing through each soulful song, and The Ghost of Paul Revere demonstrated they not only had the chops, but the heart to reach their audience and leave an undeniable impression as well. And as the floorboards shook with each pounding stomp, one thing was certain: the band announced they had arrived, loud and clear.”

— Dan Aceto, Dispatch Magazine

“North, the impressive debut CD of Portland, Maine-based The Ghost of Paul Revere, is an all-too-brief EP of what the band itself has dubbed “holler folk”—a robustly played, masterful amalgamation of bluegrass, folk, and gospel for the Millennial Generation. Over the course of six original songs—from guitarist Griffin Sherry’s earnest, tempo-changing “San Antone” to the gospel stomp of banjoist Max Davis’s “Spirit”—the band joyfully weds three-party harmonies to fresh and bracing melodies. ”

— Shawn Edward Cote, No Depression

“★★★ 1/2 Imagine a band with your standard folk and bluegrass roots, then sprinkle in some Americana, hurl in some "holler" and nip it up with nu-grass and stomp. Do all that, and you've got the recipe for the sound of a new band on the scene: The Ghost of Paul Revere. Formed just last year, the band seems to have a distinguished sound that only seasoned musicians can usually attain. This may be akin to the fact that three of the band members are lifelong friends, and their three-part harmonies show off their brethren spirit artfully. ”

— KRISTIN DiCARA-McCLELLAN, Portland Press Herlad
