David Mallett

The cool breezes of Maine's northlands have flowed through the songs of David Mallett for nearly four decades. He has released fourteen albums of his own, and written songs for an eclectic list of artists that includes Pete Seeger, Alison Kraus, Emmylou Harris, Kathy Mattea, John Denver and the Muppets. His tune, "The Garden Song" ("inch by inch, row by row . . . "), is one of America's most popular folk songs, having been recorded more than 150 times and sung around the world.
Mallett's songs are filled with passion, evocative imagery, and a sense of the inevitable passage of time. The struggle of the common man and the loss of small towns and landscapes is the subject of many of his songs. Although it is rooted in place, Mallett's music speaks to the essential things that move us all.
Former music row staff songwriter Claudia Nygaard is a born storyteller with a quick wit and a fearless emotional availability. Her affable connection with an audience has led reviewers to describe her as "Will Rogers without the Rope." Claudia delivers her vivid, heartfelt songs in a warm, mature southern voice.
