A Denny Breau concert is set for 7 p.m. Friday, May 7, at Cadenza, at 5 Depot St. in Freeport.
Breau’s rhythmically flawless and dazzlingly clear style allows him to do amazing and stunning things with a six-string guitar. He first draws in an audience with a finely arranged melody and then slides effortlessly into scorching finger work that sets ears aflame. The lighting fast guitar lines that seem almost humanly impossible to accomplish are balanced with those that have a quiet intimacy and wrap tenderly around his carefully crafted songs.
He mixes genres with ease folk, Delta blues, country and jazz “creating a totally accessible musical mélange that captivates as it entertains,” according to Lucky Clark writing for the Kennebec Journal.

One of my publicist connections sent me an email recently about a client of his who had written a book called “Looking To Get Lost” that contained a chapter concerning Dick Curless, whose song “Tombstone Every Mile” brought him national success and acclaim. I asked if the author, Peter Guralnick, was available for interviews. Even though I was nervous about chatting with the writer who had penned “Last Train to Memphis: The Rise of Elvis Presley” (which Bob Dylan said was the, “unrivaled account of Elvis”), I was anxious to get his thoughts on Maine’s legendary country singer. On the 16th of last month, he called me from his West Newbury, Massachusetts home.
