The UUCB Concerts for a Cause series presents singer-songwriter David Mallet on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Brunswick, 1 Middle St., Brunswick.

Mallett hails from a small town in northern Maine, and in a career that spans four decades, his music has traveled to all corners of the world. He has performed in folk clubs and concert halls across the North America and Europe in addition to major venues such as Barns of Wolf Trap and the Newport Folk Festival. He has also appeared on numerous broadcasts, including National Public Radio’s A Prairie Home Companion.

The Bangor Daily News recognized him as one of the 58 most memorable Mainers of the 20th Century. The readers of FOLKWAX voted him 2003 Artist of the Year and “Artist in Me” 2003 Album of the Year. He has recorded 14 albums, including “The Fable True” (2007), based on Thoreau’s last expedition in 1857, a spoken word CD with accompanying music.

Known for his carefully written, poetic offerings, his body of work has provided material for more than 150 artists including Alison Krauss, Pete Seeger, Hal Ketchum, Emmylou Harris, John Denver and even the Muppets. His “Garden Song” (Inch by Inch, Row by Row) has become an American folk classic.

Tickets are $22 in advance, $25 at the door. Available at the church office — (207) 729- 8515, Gulf of Maine Books, or online at davidmallett.brownpapertickets.com. Monies raised from the concert will benefit the programming of the church and local charities.
