'Inch by inch, row by row,' the refrain of folk master and songwriter David Mallett's 'Garden Song' has played in the heads of many a Maine gardener, while his music has been performed by artists including Alison Krauss, Pete Seeger, Emmylou Harris, John Denver and even the Muppets. On Saturday, Aug. 20, Maine-based Mallett brings his band to the stage at the historic Opera House in Boothbay Harbor.
In a career spanning four decades, he has recorded 17 albums, had several hundred covers of his songs, and performed in clubs, concert halls and festivals across the US, Canada and Europe.
