In a career spanning four decades\, he has recorded 17 album s\, had several hundred covers of his songs\, including the American fol k classic Garden Song [Inch by Inch\, Row by Row] and performed in clubs \, concert halls and festivals across the US\, Canada and Europe. He has appeared on numerous broadcasts\, including National Public Radio’s A Prairie Home Companion. Known for his carefully written\, poetic offeri ngs\, his body of work has provided material for an eclectic list of art ists that includes Alison Krauss\, Pete Seeger\, Hal Ketchum\, Emmylou H arris\, John Denver and the Muppets.\n\nDavid Mallett’s most recent re lease\, Celebration (2016)\, is a 10 song collection with themes ranging from resilience to despair to the boundless promise of a new generation . With the sensibilities of a storyteller and the passions of a poet\, M allett crafts imagery that evokes a past of Main Streets and summer danc es\, rambling farmhouses and the families who lived and loved there. His work is a continuation of the American tradition and echoes with the sp irit of Stephen Foster and the poetry of Frost\, Sandburg\, and Guthrie. Mallett’s music is a reminder of connection with the earth and with d ays gone by – and of the memories and dreams that sustain us.\n\nMalle tt’s musical career began when he was 11 years old singing in a folk d uo with his older brother\, Neil. They had their own TV show in the ’6 0s for a few seasons performing poplar radio hits and recording a few 45 s. A great start to a career in show business.\n\nWhile studying acting at the University of Maine\, Mallett heard the music of singer-songwrite rs such as Gordon Lightfoot and Bob Dylan and tried his hand at writing songs. He began to perform solo and\, eventually\, expanding his reperto ire with original tunes until he was singing all of his own material by age 26.\n\nA turning point in Mallett’s career came in 1975 when he di scovered that Noel Paul Stookey\, of Peter\, Paul &\; Mary\, had move d to Blue Hill\, Maine and was opening a recording studio there. Stookey helped bring Mallett’s “Garden Song” to the attention of Pete See ger who included it on his 1979 album\, Circles &\; Seasons. John Den ver soon recorded the song and took it to the top 10 on the Adult Contem porary Charts that same year. Since then ”Garden Song” has been reco rded hundreds of times and performed worldwide\, finding its place in th e American Folk Lexicon.\n\nMallett toured the folk circuit for 10 years \, then moved to Nashville in the late ’80s where he continued to writ e and record. In Nashville\, with the help of veteran producer\, Jim Roo ney\, he recorded three albums for Chicago-based Flying Fish Records and two collections for Vanguard. His songs were recorded by Marty Stuart\, Hal Ketchum\, Emmylou Harris\, Kathy Mattea\, Allison Kraus\, and other s. Meanwhile his “Ballad of St. Anne’s Reel\,” from his second alb um\, became in international folk classic.\n\nNine CDs have been release d on Mallett’s own North Road label\, including Artist in Me (2003) na med by the Associated Press as one of the year’s best records\; the li ve album Midnight on the Water (2006)\; The Fable True (2007)\, a spoken work collection of Henry David Thoreau’s stories of his visits to Mai ne in the 1800s set against an original instrumental soundtrack\; Alrigh t Now (2009) which The Boston Globe proclaimed ”a masterpiece.”\n\nI n 2014\, the University of Maine gave Mallett an honorary doctorate in r ecognition of his contribution to the state’s cultural heritage. He wa s named one of the most memorable Mainers of the 20th century in the mil lennium edition of The Bangor Daily News (along with Marshall Dodge\, An drew Wyeth\, E.B. White\, Stephen King\, Edna St. Vincent Millay\, and o thers).\n\nCOVID-19 INFORMATION\nEffective immediately\, we will no long er require proof of vaccination or masks at our shows.\n\nPLEASE NOTE: a dditional COVID-19 protocols beyond the venue policy MAY be required by a specific artist or band.
