An Evening with the Don Campbell Trio
An Evening with the Don Campbell Trio
Maine Singer-Songwriter and Multi-Instrumentalist Don Campbell brings his award-winning voice, heartfelt original songs, and down-to-earth personality to the UUCB stage on September 20th at 7:30 to raise money for Oasis Free Clinics and the Immigrant Legal Advocacy Project.
A national grand-prize winner at Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry and 6-time winner of the title, “Maine’s Best Singer-Songwriter” from the Maine Sunday Telegram’s Reader’s Poll, Don Campbell was recently inducted into the Maine Country Music Hall of Fame, Don’s music resides in the home of “American crossover” akin to the Eagles and John Cougar Mellencamp. He is known for his remarkable vocal range—from the tenor tones of Vince Gill to the deep resonance of Johnny Cash.
Don has written and released 12 CDs. Additionally, he has been commissioned to write songs for specific organizations and occasions including “A Friend Right Here,” as the National Theme Song for Visiting Nurses Association of America.
For this performance, Don is joined by longtime friends and bandmates Andy Happle (violin, harmonies) a concert violinist and fiddler who has shared the stage with symphonies, pop stars and country music luminaries; and Tonya Shevenell (bass, harmonies) who has performed hundreds of shows with Don and is also a Maine children’s book author, penning regional favorites, including The Maine Birthday Book.
This special concert will feature a mix of Don’s beloved originals alongside fan-favorite covers from artists like Dan Fogelberg, Eddie Rabbitt, John Denver, and more!
Tickets are $25 in advance, $30 at the door, and $10 for students/children. Available at the church office (729-8515), Gulf of Maine Books, or online at https://ticketstripe.com/doncampbell
