Don Campbell spent his teen years on the wharves and cobblestone streets of Portland’s Old Port and waterfront, sitting at the feet of local musical heroes like Schooner Fare and Devonsquare. Fast forward, and Don Campbell has been recognized dozens of times over, winning six consecutive years as the Maine Sunday Telegram‘s favorite Maine songwriter. Whether performing to capacity audiences headlining his own concerts, opening for any number of legendary songwriters and musicians, or sneaking down to his favorite local watering hole with his guitar, every audience gets his best songs, most earnest stories, dynamically tender performances, and butterscotch voice.
Be sure to sign up for the Parents’ Night Out Program with Amanda Panda being offered thanks to a generous grant from The Maine Community Foundation.
