GARDINER — An evening of Dan Fogelburg music by Don Campbell will be presented at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 7, at Johnson Hall.

Singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Fogelberg was a multi-platinum selling artist, with hits such as “Leader of the Band,” “Longer,” “Same Old Lang Syne” and a large and diverse catalog of over 20 albums. He passed away in 2007. On Nov. 13, 2012, Don Campbell released a double CD, Kites To Fly: Celebrating the Music of Dan Fogelberg and in Jan., 2013 began presenting live performances of this music around the country. Campbell received an Independent Music Award Nomination for the album an was officially endorsed in April of 2014 by the Fogelberg Association.

Campbell is a singer-songwriter, composer and multi-instrumentalist whose music is inspired by sources as diverse as the Celtic and Canadian Maritimes — the music of his family — to Dan Fogelberg, Vince Gill, the Beatles and novelist, Stephen King. Writing in genres including adult contemporary, country, Celtic, Christmas, bluegrass and rock, Don has released 12 CDs, most recently a two-disc, 23-song collection, “Kites To Fly: Celebrating The Music Of Dan Fogelberg.” Co-based in Portland and Nashville, Campbell averages between 150 and 200 performances per year, primarily with the New England-based Don Campbell Band and smaller ensembles, including the nationally touring Restless Campbells.

Campbell will release a new original adult contemporary project in the coming months.
