I saw this video on ATT Uverse "OnDemand" last night. This is an excellent groove tune for the summer.
It’s official, Brett Dennen needs a hair cut. Trust me on this one Brett; cutting your hair would be good for your career. You already have slightly awkward facial tics while you’re playing {think John Mayer’s classic grimaces} and while your long hair oft strays in front of these moments it’s not helping as much as you might think. Consider this an open and honest letter Mr. Dennen. I’m about to say good things about your music, unfortunately I cannot stand idly by wh... MORE

I was recently introduced to Brett Dennen through a friend, she showed me Dennen's "Ain't no Reason", and I told her that I hadn't heard a song with dumber lyrics since Lil' John. I mean, read this, the first part of his song. It doesn't make any sense at all! "There aint no reason things are this wayIts how they always been and it tends to stayI can't explain why we live this way, we do it everydayPreachers on the podeum speaking of saintsProphets on the sidewalk beggin...

I've become thoroughly obsessed with him. Check out his myspace page for concert dates and all that good stuff.

Never heard of him before but saw this guy last night at the Warfield, he opened up for John Butler Trio. While I liked JBT, I loved this guy. He has such a nice voice, almost yodels in some songs. Some great messages in the lyrics. Here is a link - you can hear for yourself. Really great live if you ever get a chance to see him.

The thing about this kid's music - is I have heard it before. I heard it in Bob Dylan, in Harvest, in Bread and in many other artists....the difference here is - 20 years from now - on a note on this blog...someone will write a note like mine...and he will be the first name listed as something someone heard once. This is classic music - knows no time, no shelter...and yet...will ride the hearts of millions for many years to come. He'll get there...I am looking forward ... MORE
I saw Brett Dennen tonight at the El Ray Theater. Dennen lives here in LA, and he was pretty awesome! I recommend seeing him if you get the chance. At the very least, check out some of his music. Tonight, he had a band with a guy who could get sounds that I've never heard before out of a normal guitar. You should have seen some of the ways he played that thing! I've got tickets to see Jet at the Troubador next month. I'm defiantly starting to like this music scene (this ... MORE
