Jan. 29, Friday, 7pm, “The Ghost of Paul Revere,” Born on the banks of the Saco River, brothers in all but name, the Ghost of Paul Revere is Maine’s holler-folk band.

They use a masterful combination of melody and energy, somewhere between folk and foot-stomping bluegrass, that has already given Ghost shows legendary status. Fans have traveled vast distances from the most remote corners of the country to catch the band as they make an increasingly bigger mark on the scene, $15, Unity College Center for the Performing Arts, 42 Depot St, Unity.
