Brett Dennen: Hope for the Hopeless

Brett Dennen

Brett Dennen sings the kind of songs that fits tearjerkers and sitcoms. It's all about feelings, a losses and, of course, hope. In short, he has all the trappings to be a housewifes hero. Hell, he is even all about good causes too.

His album Hope for the Hopeless has been saved from the cut out bin by using vintage organ sounds and a few nice guitar licks. He is without a doubt a nice guy. Being nice all the time is pretty boring, but he might show more balls when he is one stage.

I haven't heard the new album, but I know his previous ones, and I've seen him live a few times. I think he is a great songwriter and singer. Sure, he can be a bit cheesy, but I would put him a few notches above "housewife hero,"although he could fill that role as well. Perhaps I am biased, have seen him each year at the High Sierra Music Fest, starting in the side stages and walkways, and moving up each year to better places.
