A local favorite and staple of the Poland Spring Musical line up.
The World Famous Grassholes play high-energy bluegrass (yes, a little bit like that Billy Strings guy, but also like Greensky and Leftover Salmon and Mighty Poplar, etc.), a mix of original compositions, classics, and cool covers. It’s good for dancing and nodding your head and tapping your feet, and meant to be enjoyed with friends and family. Part of a long legacy of performers that goes back to 2000, the Grassholes feature Heather Kahill on fiddle, Merrill Marsh and Sam Pfeifle on guitars, Flann O’Brien on the stand-up bass, and Field Rider on Banjo and harmonica. Everybody sings a bit here and there, whether you like it or not.

Gallant writes contemplative folk songs of struggle and hope with honest reflections of his heritage and everyday life in rural Maine. He has two full band singles out this year, and also a solo acoustic LP released in 2022. I normally pick my favorites from an album to write about, but I didn’t want to exclude anything this time, so bear with me, and I hope you enjoy learning about his music, Hank Williams, and a little about life in rural Maine.
