Brett Michael Dennen, 33, is a folk/pop singer and songwriter from Northern California. As a young adult, Brett was a Community Studies major at UC Santa Cruz. After graduation he met a visionary woman with an ear for raw talent. Her gift for getting people to listen and share her excitement about his music, were a perfect incubator for his unique voice & insightful songs. Brett started working with Leslie Merical in December 2002. She encouraged him to pursue music seriously and made sure he wasn’t slowed by the challenges most new artists face. Inspired by the good in his lyrics and the reaction to his songs, Merical started by convincing promoters at venues to give him a chance to play, despite his inexperience. She connected with his fans at every show and made them feel like they were part of something wonderful while guiding him along the path most artists have to travel alone. This rest is history. Along the way, he’s been invited to play on Dave Matthews’ Music Cruise, and to tour and/or play on bills with John Mayer, Sheryl Crow, Shawn Colvin, ALO, Jackson Brown, Taj Mahal, Ziggy Marley, Xavier Rudd, Corinne Bailey Rae and others.

This tune can be found on his 2006 album titled So Much More. Loverboy is his fourth studio album and was released in April 2011.
Too much clothing on top and not enough on the bottom. Must be cold in that lounge. And yet he has no shoes. He does have talent, but I’m not sure about this particular piece. But never mind. That doesn’t mean other people can’t simply love him. Sorry.
Appreciate the candor. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing.
okay:)
Love this!!!
You have excellent taste!
I like his music…and he was extremely fortunate to have a “visionary woman” on his side and guiding him through the whole process. My youngest, Cody, wants to go to UC Santa Cruz in about a year (just a side note here). Thanks for the music David…it’s great, as usual. You have great taste in music my friend.
So true Carol. Imagine someone having the talent to see talent and nurture it. So you might point Cody to this visionary and more great things will happen to your young man…
Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking…he needs to meet the visionary woman. 🙂
(and wealthy would be good too!)
🙂
Yes, he’s right about love. Hang in there son…
🙂 Good advice. I think he’ll be just fine.
I’m a sucker for a good singer-songwriter, and this guy is right up my alley. Yet another great find, pal. You’re on fire! 🙂
🙂 He is quirky but magnetic. Thanks Lori.
WLS – with a caveat. It’s so hot right now, I think EVERYONE is on fire..So let’s just say you are incredibly cool.
You are right on everyone being on fire given the heat. As to cool, we’ll leave that to the two of you..
Oh we’ve covered that territory long ago – we both think you’re way cool…
laughing. (Note to self: She does have to get the last word in. let her win.)
