ALL ROADS MUSIC FESTIVAL RECAP • BELFAST, ME

And just like that, we’ve wrapped up our last full-band show of 2026! 🥹🤍

What a way to go out! Huge thanks to @allroadsmusicfest for having us and to everyone who came out, sang along, and spent part of their Saturday night with us in Belfast!

The full-band shows might be done for the year, but there’s still plenty of music and a few surprises coming your way! 🤍

That’s a wrap on GHOSTLAND 2026.
What an incredible honor to get together, once again, and play our music for you. There are no words to adequately thank all of you, our community, for still singing along four years later.

Thank you to @bencosgrovemusic, @jaxkinch, @brooklyndrums, @thefogcutters , @lowendmccrae, @zhbence, and @andy_candy_pants for making all of those songs come to life and all your hard work preparing for your ace performances.

None of this last weekend would’ve been possible without the tremendous help and love of our team @devinmauch, @livingstonericjones, & @derek.lombardi, @dirigosound on sound, @preston_lights on lights, @theadamjackson on production, @brettlmarshall and the @windwood_productions_llc gang for their continued support and capture of our story, @lkwayne and the @statetheatreportland family for still giving us a home, and the incredible performances of @futurebirds, @weakenedfriends, and @mikaeladavis.

We love you all. You made us proud. Hope you had fun.
Griffin, Sean, & Max

One more from CamFest: instructor Zachary Bence @zhbence channeling his inner Slash in honor of his former student Cameron. Thank you Orion Dionne (drums) and Cyrus Huff (bass) for putting in the work to make this tribute possible (and so much more fun), and of course our good friend Justin Milliken @odysseystudio for rounding out the rhythm section so beautifully.

Thanks to @kalidori_ding_dong for the video!
