The Maine trio -- Max Davis (vocals, banjo), Sean McCarthy (vocals, bass), and Griffin Sherry (vocals, guitar] -- examine life's ebbs and flows through a distinct and dynamic distillation of folk, bluegrass, rock, and alternative. Since forming in 2011, the band has created a following that has propelled them from a local to a national level, tallying 15 million total independent streams to date. After releasing the EP North in 2012, their signature style progressed over the course of two full-length albums -- Believe (2014) and Monarch (2017) -- and a pair of EPs -- Field Notes, Vol. 1 (2015) and Field Notes, Vol. 2 (2019). They garnered 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: Newport Folk, Austin City Limits, Winter WonderGrass, BottleRock Napa, Shaky Knees, Okeechobee, and Voodoo Music + Arts Experience. The boys took home "Best in Maine" at the New England Music Awards twice, in 2015 and 2019. In 2019, their song, "Ballad Of The 20th Maine," became the official State Ballad of Maine after being passed unanimously by the Senate and House of Representatives and signed into law by Maine's Governor, Janet Mills. In 2014, they began curating, booking, and hosting their very own festival, Ghostland. Rooted in a love for Maine's music community, the festival has grown into one of the state's largest festivals, drawing local and national talent to the annual Labor Day Weekend event. With more music and touring on the horizon, The Ghost of Paul Revere continue to expand this community. EARLY JAMESSinging For My Supper, the debut album from Early James, is full of those types of poignant, straight-from-real-life-to-the-page stories. Early James has lived a long life for a 26 year-old, a life he can’t help but end up turning into art. Songs keep spilling out of him: Songs about addiction, songs about familial reckoning, songs about mental health, songs about the ways adulthood can rob us of childhood wonder. For someone raised largely by the women in his family in Southeastern Alabama, Early James, whose mother worked 12-hour shifts as a traveling nurse during his upbringing, never expected that he’d get to become a professional artist, and he doesn’t plan on wasting a second. “I make sounds for a living,” he says. “That’s a weird thing to say.” Doug Fir Lounge is an intimate Music Venue located underground below the full service Doug Fir Restaurant and Bar. We are just a few blocks east of the Burnside Bridge on the corner of 9th and East Burnside in Portland, Oregon.
