Slightly more rock than country, the Mallett Brothers band is a musical melting pot that’s influenced equally by the folk and singer/songwriter 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. Brian Higgins on drums, Nick Leen on bass, Wally on dobro and electric guitar and Nate Soule on electric and acoustic guitars and mandolin. 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 a huge range of clubs including the famed Continental Club in Austin.

The accolades keep piling up with numerous awards and appearances. The Mallett Brothers Band was named best band in New England, and received best album in New England for “LAND” at the New England Music Awards this year. Sharing the nomination with some powerhouse bands such as Kingsley Flood and Deer Tick made these awards even more of a nice surprise. They were voted Best Local Act, Best Live Act, Best Roots Act, and won additional awards for Best Local Album (Low Down) and Best Song (Low Down) in the 2012 Portland Phoenix Best Music Poll.

Rangeley Region Health and Wellness Partnership has been bringing legendary rock and country bands to Rangeley since 2007 with its inaugural concert featuring the band Foreigner.
