Sept 18 -- David Mallett
"Always compelling, always musical...there is something about Mallett's phrasing that lends an urgency and boldness to his songs. His deep clear voice has a storyteller's naturalness to it, a poet's intelligence." --Scott Alarik, BOSTON GLOBE
I know of no other songwriter who can so convincingly capture that fleeting sense of being perfectly at one with a place and time. This is at the heart of why Mallett has won such a loyal following and holds such hope for the future." --Michael Hughes, PORTLAND PRESS HERALD
