David Mallett's songs, filled with delicate and evocative imagery and quiet passion, have travelled from his home in northern Maine to touch the whole world. His career began in earnest when "The Garden Song," drawn from his first recording sessions in the 1970s, caught the attention of folk icon Pete Seeger. Pete became the first of more than 150 artists, from John Denver and Peter, Paul and Mary to the Muppets, to record the folk classic.
In his camera-sharp portraits and townscapes, capturing the heart and soul of rural Maine, there is a universality of emotion that transcends time and place. And while his works have been interpreted by hundreds of artists, David's latest release, Artist in Me, shows that his music is most powerful when he simply picks up his guitar and sings his songs in his own warm tenor voice.
