The Ghost of Paul Revere and Jacob Augustine to Perform at Free Summer Concert Series on July 9 in Downtown Bangor

Bangor, Maine – On Thursday, July 9 at 6 p.m. the folk-rock group the Ghost of Paul Revere will perform in downtown Bangor at the free Cool Sounds Summer Concert Series and Fresh Air Market. Born on the banks of the Saco River, brothers in all but name, the Ghost of Paul Revere is Maine's holler-folk band. With a sound built around powerful three-part harmonies, energetic performances, and a non-traditional way of interpreting traditional American music, their songs have unique identities while still remaining undeniably the Ghost of Paul Revere. They use a masterful combination of melody and energy, somewhere between folk and foot-stomping bluegrass, that has already given Ghost shows legendary status. Opening for the band will be Lincoln-based folk musician Jacob Augustine. Augustine is no stranger to downtown Bangor as he wrote the score to Penobscot Theatre’s production of “Our Town” in 2014.
