Born and raised in rural Maine, David Mallett needed to look no further than his own front yard for inspiration for his folk songs. “Having grown up around country people and farmers, rural life has always been a wellspring for a lot of my best work,” Mallett says on his website. Since 1978, the singer-songwriter has mined his roots for material filling more than a dozen albums, securing a spot in the Americana canon with his perennially popular “Garden Song.” The Pine Tree State troubadour sings and strums his most popular standards alongside selections from his latest release, 2015’s The Horse I Rode in On, to support the Greensboro Arts Alliance & Residency.
