Happy Summer!  Don Campbell here…
Welcome to our FLOTILLA To Fight Cancer Benefit Concert 2022!  You can donate here: https://gofund.me/0ba17f36

I’ve always loved boating and being on the water. Boaters are always looking for a fun destination and I have always wanted to host a concert out on the water for them to enjoy.  Last year, after my Mom and some of my friends were diagnosed with cancer, I was inspired to raise money to fight cancer here in Maine, thus sprung the idea of an on-the-water benefit concert.  We created the “FLOTILLA To Fight Cancer Concert” and thankfully, it was a huge success and has now become an annual event!  ALL PROCEEDS RAISED are donated to the Maine Cancer Foundation and will assist Mainers and their families in dealing with this dreaded disease.  If you’d like to come out and see the concert, it will be held on Saturday, August 20th at 1pm (the rain date is Sunday, August 21st).

We have partnered with Fogg’s Water Taxi to assist those folks without boats to get to our location out on Casco Bay (Falmouth side of Cow Island). You can find all the details on my website: www.doncampbellmusic.com.
We hope you will donate now, support our event, and help us make a real difference in Mainer’s battles against cancer!

Hi Friends, and welcome to my new website!

I’ve worked hard to make it easy for everyone to find all the info you might need, like where the band and I are playing around the region, as well as when we’ll be on tour around the country. There’s places for news about “official business,” as well as places for fun photos, personal stories, and other conversation.

There’s plenty of places for you to listen to and purchase my music, as well.

Additionally, we’ve got a new webstore that will be carrying all of this season’s merchandise.

And, of course, there’s lots of ways to get in touch, from email to our social media networks, from booking inquiries to fan letters.

Thanks for checking this all out! We’re still setting up shop, so please let us know if you have any questions, comments, or are looking for something on the site that you cannot quite find.

Writing a quick note from the local Mr. Bagel after jogging to and from my car… it’s 2 degrees out!

Thankfully, I had a little vacation in Nashville and Florida recently that helped recharge my sunshine batteries and offer some much-needed time off.

But, as you all know, I prefer to be out playing music for you above most every other thing. So, I was pretty excited this morning when I heard that Punxatawny Phil, the groundhog, had not seen his shadow, and Spring is on its way in a half-dozen weeks, give or take.

Before you know it, the snow will be receding in my lawn, giving way to bright flowers. We’ll be gassing up the van and loading the band up for our travels all over Creation.

Until then, I’ve got many local solo shows, happening weekly at many of my favorite spots to relax and enjoy, including the Sea Dog in South Portland. In fact, I’ll be there today, Friday Feb. 2nd, from 3pm – 5pm.

Stay warm, friends, and please stay in touch.
