PORTLAND — David Mallett will perform in concert at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 29, at St. Lawrence Arts, 76 Congress Street.

Singer-songwriter Mallett is one of America’s true original troubadours. His 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 American towns and landscapes are the subject of many of his songs.

When he is not touring, the place where he makes his songs is in his writing room in an old farmhouse with a view across the field and a tintype of his great-great grandfather on the wall.

“I like to keep reaching out to touch the past,” he said, “to connect it with what’s going on now. To me music is one of the few things that is timeless … human emotion is one continual chain.”

Tickets are $25. For more information, call 207-775-1248 or visit www.stlawrencearts.org.
