About

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.

    Love annual Winter "Lift" tour!

    by SpeMcK on 1/27/20Neptune Theatre - Seattle

    I've seen Brett Dennen in concert a couple times before and he is always great. One of the few artists that I can truly say is as good, if not better, in concert as on recordings. This was the first time I was able to attend a concert on one of his "Lift" tours and it was outstanding! No back up band, no set list. Just a dude and his guitar playing what he feels like playing. And taking requests from the audience. Absolutely a wonderful experience!

    Fantastic acoustic show

    by Tina on 1/27/20Neptune Theatre - Seattle

    Seen Brett Dennen with his band before and was a little worried about what to expect but must say that either with or without band he is a fabulous musician that can capture his audience. Loved the show!

    Great

    by Sunshine on 6/2/19Taft Theatre - Cincinnati

    Brett really put on a great show. This acoustic show was intended to be a different experience from his concerts with the whole band, and it was a really cool event. It felt like we were in a casual setting, listening to him play and sing. He is so talented and creative.

    Brett Dennen is always great.

    by Lookingmon on 8/1/18Whitaker Center - Harrisburg

    Brett Dennen's music is fun, and heartfelt. He engages with the audience, and is very comfortable in his own skin. Love to have a beer with him sometime. I will go to see him anytime he's within an hours drive.

    Great venue; lousy sound mix

    by ml51 on 3/28/18Neptune Theatre - Seattle

    Love Brett and Love the Neptune. Saw David Crosby there last year and was blown away. So when this show came on sale I jumped. However, sitting front and center in the balcony, the drums were so loud the bass drum distorted and overall it drowned out Brett's unique voice and the fine guitar and keyboards. I was very disappointed it wasn't adjusted after the first song or two. I'm not a sound engineer by any means, but I wasn't alone when I tried to call out "lower the drums" several times between songs, and was encouraged by those sitting around me. I regret not getting out of my seat and walking downstairs to the mixer and ask if the drums could be turned down just a little. Perhaps there was a reason? Maybe it didn't sound the same downstairs as up, but the Neptune isn't a very big place, which is one of the reasons I like it. Maybe Brett was a little worn out at the end of their 30 day tour? But it was disappointing to not hear his well-written and beautifully sung words, unlike the first time I saw him at the Moore Theater when he sounded just like his CDs. Would I go again? Probably!

    Brett Dennen was perfectly casual...

    by moderncalligraphymaster on 3/23/18Neptune Theatre - Seattle

    Brett was fantastic. His relaxed demeanor, thoughtful and impactful lyrics and gentle calming style totally captivated the hugely mixed age range of the crowd. Brett even took the time to engage with some really young fans in with their dad. The sound at the Neptune was really good. Some venues like this echo badly, but not here. A great show all round from the opening act to the encore.

    The Sweet Neptune

    by Anonymous on 3/23/18Neptune Theatre - Seattle

    I love venues that are intimate, unique, and give you a chance to really see the artist performing. I hate massive concerts where you have to watch a big screen just o get a glimpse. These old theaters within cities are gems, not to be forgotten. The decision to renovate and reopen the Neptune was great, I'll be looking for more concerts to see here, just to experience the vibe. Bett Dennan: if you know his music and enjoy his style, he is amazing. He's truly talented, and fun to watch. He has fun with the audience, and he made sure to say hello to these sweet little boys who attended his show. He seems real and kind, it was a pleasure to watch him perform.

    A brilliant performance.

    by Soul3256 on 3/23/18Neptune Theatre - Seattle

    Brett Dennen is a masterful perform. The perfect combination of light hearted songs that move your feet and emotional ballads to make you stand raptured on every line. Will definitely see him again when he comes back to Seattle.

    Love Brett, not a fan of the venue

    by ColleenMarie2336 on 3/23/18Somerville Theatre - Somerville

    I have seen Brett Dennen over 6 times in various venues. I'm a huge fan, so when I got to the Somerville Theatre I was a little worried because there wasn't a clear place to dance with the music and fully enjoy the experience. So I danced anyways... and got reprimanded for it. Until the end, when a huge group of us went to the front and suddenly it wasn't an issue any more. I wish I could have seen him somewhere that does his incredible music justice.

    dancing dumbies

    by fergus72 on 3/13/18Somerville Theatre - Somerville

    Brett Dennen as always was first rate. I love him and his music. The sound system was mediocre. Bass too loud and vocals too soft. Sounded like a highschool gymnasium. But worst of worst: 3 young women danced in the aisle blocking my view of Brett. I was furious and management didn't handle it. It's one thing to have dancing up front next to the stage where the audience can still see the act. I paid good money for a specific seat and those insensiitve women ruined the experience for me. I found myself furious when all I wanted was to enjoy the treat of seeing Brett in concert.

    Did he even want to be there?

    by Sadtosayit on 3/13/18Somerville Theatre - Somerville

    I was so disappointed in Brett’s show. I really love his music, but this show was bad. Not only did he not sound good, but he acted like he didn’t even want to be performing! What a huge let down.

    So So

    by DDinNTK on 3/13/18Somerville Theatre - Somerville

    I love Brett’s music, and his appeal of being the outcast. But he needs to work on his stage presence. He only spoke once the whole night, even though there were plenty of opportunities. I thought the opener Dean Lewis blew him away.

    Electric please..

    by 58wasgreat on 2/7/17MontBleu Resort Casino & Spa - South Lake Tahoe

    Good show by Dennen. First time I've seen him and his 3pc band. Would had liked to see him on electric guitar since this being my first Dennen concert. Lyrics were fun to process. Definitely a date concert.

    More Brett Dennen, por favor!

    by RACHBAK078 on 10/13/16House of Blues New Orleans - New Orleans

    Brett is an easy fella to love and his live show at House of Blues, New Orleans did not disappoint. Lily & Madeline (the opening act- sisters/singers/musicians) were lovely and talented. Brett & his band were so into the music, the crowd couldn't help but dance & sing along with every song. Our fourth time catching him live-- the Parish Room was a really unique venue. This Monday-night crowd loved him!
