“Over the last couple of decades, East Nashville fixture Amelia White has built a folk-pop catalog that's as unfussy as it is consistent in quality, and full of insinuating hooks, slyly sleepy singing and lean, jangly backing.” NPR MUSIC
"From optimism and sheer bliss that graced the first few tracks and at least one along the way, the album grows incrementally despairing lyrically, yet the hook-filled and varied musical accompaniment keeps the listener engaged to White’s consistently potent and verbally direct songwriting. Only the best singer-songwriters have such a gift and White has proven again that she’s one of the few.” Jim Hynes GLIDE
"It’s been a while since I heard a record where every song is my favorite. The production is astoundingly sublime and thoughtful. This collection takes me calmly to the dark edge of town where civilization ends are nothing begins, offering no explanation other than the presence of a charitable breeze.” AMERICANA HIGHWAYS
"Amelia White knows how to capture the jagged ways that individuals fall in and out of love and hope. On Love I Swore she conveys the depth of loss that often flows out of broken promises. Produced by Kim Richey, who joins White on background vocals on many of the songs, Love I Swore moves from rollicking rockers to smooth pop grooves.” Henry Carrigan NO DEPRESSION

“During a particularly quiet moment between songs, as everyone waited excitedly for the next number, a fan shouted, “That was good!” A simple statement – but said with such sincerity that Sherry needed to thank him for the best thing he’s ever had yelled at him on stage. It could have been said after every song, though, with just as much truth.” Hannah Jenkins V13
Living somewhere in-between modern catharsis and American myth, Griffin William Sherry's roots continue to grow strong in the ever-evolving genres of Folk, Americana and Rock & Roll.
Griffin's music is inspired by his rural New England roots. As such, he cobbles together an inimitable signature style, visceral and heartfelt, loud and passionate, each song taking on a voice of its own.
In 2011, He co-founded the independent band The Ghost of Paul Revere, capturing the hearts and minds of countless fans with a series of acclaimed releases and sold-out shows everywhere. He helped establish his own music festival, performed on national television, and garnered millions of streams. In 2019, his song The Ballad of the 20th Maine became the official Maine State Ballad, securing The Ghost of Paul Revere's place in Maine music history.
After writing music for seventeen years, Griffin is touring frequently and completing his first solo record, taking a defiant step in a new direction.
