It is with deep sorrow that we let you know that David Mallett passed away yesterday, Dec 17, after a courageous struggle with cancer.
The UUCB Concerts for a Cause series presents Maine’s singer-songwriter David Mallet, one of America’s true troubadours on Saturday, January 28, 2017 at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Brunswick, 1 Middle Street, Brunswick to raise money for the Brunswick Area Teen Center and Maine Family Planning.
In a career that spans four decades, David Mallett has recorded 17 albums and has 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 even the Muppets, and his “Garden Song” has become an American folk classic.
In 2014, the University of Maine gave Mallett an honorary doctorate in recognition of his contribution to the state’s cultural heritage. He was named one of the most memorable Mainers of the 20th century in the millennium edition of The Bangor Daily News (along with Marshall Dodge, Andrew Wyeth, E.B. White, Stephen King, others).
“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 $25 in advance, $30 at the door, and $10 for students/children. Available at the church office (729-8515), Gulf of Maine Books, or online at http://ticketstripe.mallett.com. Monies raised from the concert will benefit the programming of the church and local charities.
