The Hurdy Gurdy Folk Music Club and the Fair Lawn Community Center will present acclaimed singer-songwriter David Mallett with special guest Joe Jencks at 8 p.m. on Saturday, November 3, 2007 at the Fair Lawn Community Center.

David Mallett performs traditional folk songs, ballads, and love songs as well as his own compositions such as The Garden Song, Summer of My Dreams, and Red Red Rose. His songs have been sung and recorded by well-known artists throughout the world including Emmy Lou Harris, Alison Krauss, Pete Seeger and even the Muppets.
