Mallet Brothers Put The Hammer Down
SARATOGA SPRINGS— The Mallett Brothers Band is an alt-country/rock band from Portland, Maine that is quickly establishing itself as a serious player on the northeast music-club scene. You get a chance to see for yourself on Friday, January 10 at Putnam Den (63A Putnam Street, Saratoga Springs). The show begins at 9:30 p.m. Admission is $7, $12 for the under 21 set.
Slightly more rock than country, they provide musical melting pot that’s influenced equally by the folk and singer/songwriter influence of brothers Luke and Will’s dad David Mallett - himself a noted musician - as by the harder rock, punk and even psychedelic influences of the other band members.
The result: song-driven music that holds up under a solitary listening, but that’s equally apt to crank a room full of rockers into high gear.
Since forming in 2009, they’ve released three full length albums and toured the country extensively, opening for acts ranging from .38 Special to Toby Keith to Travis Tritt to the Turnpike Troubadours, as well as headlining at leading clubs including the famed Continental Club in Austin.
