GhostShip was originally formed by Jarrod Paulsen (Drummer) and Rick Moore (Guitar) in 1998. Paulsen and Moore enlisted Bass Player Eric Wyant and guitar player/singer DJ Trout and the band began rehearsals. GhostShip played a few shows around Sioux City, IA before tragically, Eric passed away. After some time to mourn the loss of their friend and bandmate, GhostShip picked back up without Trout and enlisted the services of Dan Loofe who had been the lead singer in Ricks former band Mental Lapse. Moore, Paulsen and Loofe then started to look for a suitable bass player. After several auditions they made an offer to Ahron Jurney, who accepted. Rehearsals began right away and the band quickly gelled.
GhostShip went into the studio in 2003 to record their debut full length CD entitled “The Debauchery”. In 2006 bassist Ahron Jurney decided to move to Austin Tx to pursue other interests and auditions were held to find his replacement. Barry Hodges, previous bass player for several popular bands in the area won the spot and started rehearsing with the band. In 2007 second vocalist Dan Wozny, formally of Street Legal, joined the band to add another vocal to the mix.
GhostShip continued as a 5 piece band for the next several years, playing shows all over the region and was voted one of Siouxland’s Favorite Rock bands many times by the readers of Weekender Magazine (at last count, 20 times through 2024). In 2013 they went back into the studio and recorded their second full length studio album entitled “Etched in Stone”. In 2015 they decided to bring on an additional guitar player and tapped longtime friend and former guitarist for Threatenol, Chuck Woll for this position. They have been a 6 piece band since, with current members: Jarrod Paulsen (Drums), Rick Moore (Lead Guitar), Dan Loofe (Vocals), Dan Wozny (Vocals), Barry Hodges (Bass), and Chuck Woll (Guitar).

GhostShip is currently writing songs for their 3rd studio album.
Over the last 25 years they have played hundreds of shows in Iowa, South Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota and have a fan base around the world. They were inducted into the Iowa Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2024.
They have opened for National touring acts that include: Great White, Jackyl, Quiet Riot, LA Guns, Slaughter, Joey Belladonna (Anthrax), Lynch Mob, BulletBoys, Faster Pussycat, Gin Blossoms, Tesla, Skid Row, Head East, Black Oak Arkansas and more. Their music is being played on terrestrial and internet radio stations across the world.
