Maine's Capital Area

The UUCB Concerts for a Cause series presents singer-songwriter David Mallet, one of America’s true troubadours on Saturday, January 28, 2017 at 7:30pm at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Brunswick, 1 Middle Street, Brunswick.

In a career spanning four decades, Mallett has recorded 14 albums, had several hundred covers of his songs, including the American folk 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 offerings, his body of work has provided material for more than 150 artists including Alison Krauss, Pete Seeger, Hal Ketchum, Emmylou Harris, John Denver and the Muppets.

"Few people could be called the living embodiment of the state where they live. But what Garrison Keillor is to Minnesota, Mallett is to Maine." – Orlando Sentinel

Tickets are $22 in advance, $25 at the door. Available at the church office (729-8515), Gulf of Maine Books, or online at http://davidmallett.brownpapertickets.com. Monies raised from the concert will benefit the programming of the church and local charities.
