Well-known singer-songwriter Dave Mallett is set to perform at 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 20, at Vienna Union Hall, 5 Vienna Mountain Road in Vienna.

Mallet has been making music professionally since he was 11 years old when he played with his brother Neil as The Mallett Brothers. His sons Will and Luke carry on the family business these days fronting their own Mallett Brothers Band.

Besides his own distinctive recordings, his songs have been recorded by hundreds of artists. His best known, “The Garden Song,” (“Inch by Inch, row by row…”) has been covered by more than 150 performers.

“The songwriting was good for a while,” he said. “When John Denver was selling stuff, he was the only guy who really made any substantial money for me. That was when I was young, I had kids and all that. But since that whole thing blew over, I make my own records, I make most of my living doing shows. And I enjoy it. I look at myself as kind of a journeyman: I take my box of tools, I go out into the world. Not unlike what Thoreau did in a limited way. He did a lot of lectures around and he didn’t want anybody to attend. I do! He had no bills!”

Tickets cost $25 in advance or $30 at the door.
