With enormous clarity and humor he gives a voice to the life of contemporary Maine - as it is really lived.". This nationally known singer / songwriter hails from Piscataquis County, and in a career that spans four decades, his music has traveled to all corners of the world. His songs have been recorded by more than 150 artists, including Pete Seeger, Alison Krauss, John Denver, Emmylou Harris, and even the Muppets, and his "Garden Song" has become an American folk classic. Dave has performed in town halls and folk clubs across America and Europe in addition to major venues such as Barns of Wolf Trap, Newport Folk Festival, and "Prairie Home Companion". The Bangor Daily News recently recognized him as one of the 58 most memorable Mainers of the 20th Century. Dave's eleventh album, "Ambition", was released in late 1999 on Flying Fish / Rounder. Mallett has published two books: "The Songs of David Mallett" and "Inch by Inch", an award-winning children's book based on his most famous song. |
