FARMINGTON — Music will once again fill the North Church at 118 High St. and surrounding neighborhood at 7 p.m. Saturday, March 17, as the Farmington Historical Society resumes its concert series with Maine native Denny Breau taking stage.
Doors will open at 6 p.m. for a pie social” and jam session.
Breau’s rhythmically flawless and dazzlingly clear style allows him to do amazing and stunning things with a six-string guitar. He mixes genres with ease — folk, Delta blues, country and jazz.
Breau’sparents, Hal “Lone Pine” Breau and Betty Cody, were popular country performers and RCA recording artists beginning in the 1940s. His older brother, the late Lenny Breau, is considered a jazz guitar giant.
Breau started playing guitar when he was 9 years old and was performing professionally by his early teens.
During more than 30 years as a full-time musician, he has performed with many well-known artists and picked alongside outstanding guitarists. He has long been in demand as a studio musician and has done jingles and sound tracks for radio and television as well as recorded and produced albums for other artists. Breau was a member of roots music trio Turkey Hollow with Tom Rowe and Tom’s son Dave, starting in 1998.
Breau was inducted into the Maine Country Music Hall of Fame in 2004 — the youngest inductee in the history of the organization.
