Event Description
California singer/songwriter Brett Dennen visits Boulder for a live performance including songs from his latest album, Loverboy. Opening for Brett is Places.
“In our world today we need to take every chance we have to empower
people to make change. We are hoping touring will provide a model for
bridging socially conscious music and people. Music is the magic of
change.” – Brett Dennen
Dennen’s wunderkind rise has been impressive. In 2004 Dennen released
his self-titled debut, followed quickly by his sophomore LP So Much
More (2006,) which spent months on the Billboard Heatseeker chart. The
release drew the attention of John Mayer, for whom Dennen opened in 2006
and 2007. In 2008 the artist released his follow-up, Hope for the
Hopeless, which debuted at #41 on the Billboard Top 200 and firmly
established Dennen as a definitive new voice in modern songwriting. He’s
worked with Femi Kuti, Natalie Merchant, and Jason Mraz; he’s toured
with Dave Matthews, Rodrigo y Gabriela, and The John Butler Trio; and
he’s played Bonarroo, Austin City Limits, Coachella, Outside Lands, and
Newport Folk Festival. He’s also become the go-to guy for some of the
best and most artfully soundtracked contemporary TV shows. His songs
have appeared on Scrubs, Grey’s Anatomy, Parenthood, Brothers &
Sisters, and House among others.
“In many ways this is my first album,” Brett Dennen says of his fourth record, Loverboy.
“On my previous albums I said what I needed to say. I evoked every
different mood and sentiment and emotion. Now I don’t really have
anything to prove. I’ve been the new kid on the block and now that phase
is over. I get to start all over again, relax, and refocus.” He pauses
and flashes a laidback grin. “And what I’m focused on is having fun.”
