“Sherry’s ability to balance intimate gestures and high-energy moments makes his music as deeply personal as it is universally resonant.”

Griffin William Sherry, the Maine-born singer, songwriter, and guitarist, is known for his ability to craft stories that resonate deeply, whether they’re shared around a campfire or at a summer festival. After spending twelve years fronting The Ghost of Paul Revere, Griffin steps into the spotlight as a solo artist with his debut album, Hundred Mile Wilderness. His music, characterized by a powerful vocal delivery and no-frills instrumentation, delves into the joys and challenges of small-town life and the personal journey of self-discovery. Through songs filled with raw honesty and eloquent lyricism, Griffin continues to explore life’s big questions, inviting listeners to pause and appreciate the moment. Now, with a new chapter unfolding, he’s more determined than ever to tell his story in his own voice.

“With a smoky easy-listening folk-rock sound, if you are a fan of The Ghost of Paul Revere (duh.), Mumford & Sons, or Zac Brown Band, you’ll enjoy the future music of Griffin William Sherry. Keep an eye out for the song “Reflections” – that’s the one that snatched my heart” - Elissa Ebersold for Nippertown

“During a particularly quiet moment between songs, as everyone waited excitedly for the next number, a fan shouted, “That was good!” A simple statement – It could have been said after every song, though, with just as much truth” - Hannah Jenkins V13

“And yet, as one might expect from a solo debut, the album often feels more personal and direct than the work Sherry did with his former band. The lyrics explore themes of self-discovery, moments of clarity and narrators standing at crossroads in their lives. The title of the album refers to Maine’s stretch of wilderness on the Appalachian Trail, a dense path through the Maine woods that signals the end of the journey for northbound hikers. For Sherry, however, that trail marks a beginning, and a place to sink deep into one’s self for creative exploration” - Robert Ker Portland Press Herald

“Hundred Mile Wilderness from the Portland, Maine singer-songwriter Griffin William Sherry has stood as one of the best albums to come out of the New England so far this decade” - Rob Duguay Medium
