Brett Dennen is a modern day troubadour with one foot tapping to the tradition of Woody Guthrie and the other foot in step with his social and political convictions. In 2013 he released his fifth studio album Smoke and Mirrors, which was recorded in Nashville and produced the widely acclaimed hit "Wild Child." His voice carries a unique quality that draws listeners in by being simultaneously at home in the music yet tinged with a hint of urgency. A ticket to a Brett Dennen concert will put you face to face with a songwriter who is determined to deliver an energetic, positive and uplifting performance. His ability to do just that has landed him opening slots for John Mayer, Sheryl Crow and David Matthews. His recent hit song has joined the ranks of many of his other fan favorites that inspire crowds to sing along with his performance.
Dennen began improvising songs around the campfire as a teen which eventually led to gigging, recording and the release of his self-titled first album in 2004. His second album, So Much More followed in 2006 and his third album, Hope for the Hopeless debuted at No. 41 on the Billboard Top 200 in 2008. His 2011 album, Loverboy debuted at No. 55 and featured the radio-hit single "Comeback Kid (That's My Dog)." In addition to radio play, Dennen's songs have graced the television airwaves on episodes of Parenthood, Grey's Anatomy and American Idol. He has an impressive 2014 tour schedule with dates booked in the U.S., Ireland, Scotland, the UK and Holland. This down-to-earth guy is now bringing his message to many parts of the globe, and maybe someday to the whole world.
