Brett Dennen

It was amazing. The venue is great and Brett puts on an awesome show. peace in the east

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!

Nice venue.. Great singer.. I really enjoyed brett's concert.

GREAT!!!! He is an amazing performer, the atmosphere was awesome, and the music was incredible!

both ware true to music thay play with alot of strong amotions and power.....

Awesome show! Love the venue! Brett Dennen puts on a great show!

Grace Potter was an excellent opening act! She Excited the crowd and got us excited about the Main Event. Brett was fan-freakin-tastic, addressed the issue of something beyond himself to the Crowd with the (Red) cause. He is a real musician who enjoys hie music as much as everyone else. Great preformer, loved the facial expressions and dancing. A+

First time I've like the supporting act better than the headlining act. Grace Potter & the Nocturnals were amazing. Grace's voice blew me away! The crowd enjoyed Brett.

The concert opened up with Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, they brought the energy and got the crowd excited. Grace has an amazing voice and the band is all talented musicians. Then Brett came on with his genuine unique voice and crazy dancing. He sang all my favorite songs. The concert was perfect and I will forever be a Brett fan. :)

My first concert at House of Blues and I wouldn't have wanted it to be anyone else. Good times. He's a crazy little guy and I loved it. He played 4 of my 5 favorite songs of his. I was hoping he'd play San Francisco and he played it second. Very enjoyable. Went home very happy. It was a memorable night.

Once again, Brett Dennen stunned the crowd. The House of Blues - Chicago is a great venue for an up and coming artist like Dennen. Brett, who plays every song with heart and emotion, simply takes over the crowd with his love and passion for music. I would tell anybody who enjoys live performances(Folk, Pop, Rock) to check out BD!!!

He was unbelievable. Great venue at the House of Blues, he rocked it. Really got the crowd into it.

I went to see Brett Dennen and was absolutely blown away by Grace Potter and the Nocturnals. Unbelievable. Brett was on point as usual though, aside from the overtly sexual and bizarre dance moves. Perhaps with losing all the weight he finds himself sexy now nonetheless one of my favorite performers. Keep doing your thing Brett, Grace Potter I'll see you next time you're in Chicago.

vocals, lyrics, style, all topnotch.... missed a couple of his best songs but overall a great performance... one or two more "unplugged" songs w/ just Brett & his guitar wouldve been even better

Brett Dennen was very energetic and put on a good show. The crowd was interesting and sometimes disrespectful, but overall a great venue and a great show.

Brett D. was great & unique but Grace rocked it out!

By far, the WORST show I've ever attended. Rotten tomatoes to the whole performance. I only regret that I have to give him one star as zero stars isn't an option. I love Brett Dennen's music: the lyrics are meaningful and his voice is unique. I attended his concert at the Beachland Ballroom in Euclid, OH last winter and loved every second of the concert, but the show I saw at the House of Blues in Cleveland was a totally different story. Brett's weight loss was the first noticeable difference; if it's an intentional attempt to be more healthy I applaud him. The second noticeable difference was his inability to hit certain notes in his music or to project those notes with his usual bravado. At this point, I was willing to say "he's having an off night--it happens to everyone and I'm willing to cut him a little slack". But then came the weird hand gestures, the uncalculated movements all over the stage where he's practically knocking things over, the awkward conversations with the audience: now I felt uncomfortable. Was he trying to be something he isn't by entertaining instead of singing? Was he drunk or high? Then came the final straw for me, when he's telling the audience "Repeat after me" followed by the weirdest bunch of crap that I've ever seen or heard. I didn't come to hear the audience sing "Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo", "aah, aah, aah, ahh". Put your shoes on. stay at the microphone, and sing Mr. Dennen. If you're drinking, sober up; if you're getting stoned, go get help; if you're trying to play to the audience more, just sing--that's all that you audience wants from you. Lousy singing, stage performance remeniscent of junior high school, and just plain bizzare behavior on the part of Mr. Dennen. He's no longer on my "favorites" list and I won't be back to any of his future concerts. I'm so disappointed in him. On a positive note, his band was right on the money and kept things moving for what must have been a very uncomfortable time for them. Please relay my deepest sympathy to them for having to live through such humiliation.

Grace Potter and the Nocturnals rocked the house! Never heard these guys before, and I am definitely buying their music. Came to the concert mainly to see Brett, but he was a little disappointing. Just not my style I guess, but Grace Potter definitely was worth it.

I started following Brett Dennen right after his first album and saw him on a few other occasions. He played all my faves and was taking requests! His lyrics and honesty will keep me coming to his shows

Grace Potter and the Nocturnals are a high-energy band with awesome songs - why were they the warm-up group? If you have never seen or heard of them, you are missing out. What an incredible bunch of musicians!! The only reason I give 4 stars is because A) they should have been the main act and B) you could not hear Grace sing when she moved over to play the organ. The four stars are all for Grace Potter and the Nocturnals!

We drove almost three hours to attend the show, and were not disappointed. You never know what to expect of an opening act, but we were blown away by Grace potter and the Nocturnals. We had high expectations of Brett Dennen and he more than lived up to them. His music is a terrific combination of conscience, melody and a beat that keeps you moving as you absorb the lyrics.

The show was awesome, Robert Francis, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, & Brett Dennen! What more could you ask for?

GREAT ENERGY AND STAGE PRESENCE. DAMN CAN THAT GIRL BELT IT. SHE'S GOT SOUL, SHE'S GOT BLUES, SHE'S GOT CLASSIC ROCK DOWN TO AN ART. ONE OF THE BEST CONCERTS I'VE BEEN TO IN A WHILE :)

This was a great Venue...Rams head Live is great for concerts..Grace Potter and the Nocturnals were awsome to!!!

The show was absolutely incredible!! No other way to describe it really. Me and my friends got there early to get front row, and we were absolutely blown away. Grace Potter and the Nocturnals are great performers and so passionate about what they're doing. It puts you in a trance and completely engulfs you. Brett Dennen and his band were amazing of course too, as always. They actually hung out in the parking lot after the show and talked with fans. We got to get autographs, pictures, and I even got to sing with Brett Dennen!! Needless to say, I'm in love with these guys. Definitely recommend it to everyone. These are some groovy cats who deserve more rep. :)

I didn't care for Brett Dennen, but Thriving Ivory was absolutely amazing!!!!! Please bring them back to New Orleans!!!!!!!!!

Enough said! This concert was spectacular. Foy Vance started the show - an incredible talent! Brett Dennen came out, sung and danced his heart out, then came back and sang at least 4 more songs for his encore! Well, well, well worth it!

Foy Vance opened and "Be the Song" was and is awesome. Brett sounded great and performed ok, but fell short in showing appreciation for his supporters. He literally sang every song without saying a word to the patrons and turned his back in between each song. Everyone has moments, but it would have taken only a couple seconds of BS thankfulness to make paying fans feel valued.

Great show. Very talented band. Brett Dennen is One of the best songwriters today no exception As a 52 year old musician I enjoyed the live music More than his records, he strives to improvise his vocals And certainly plays guitar like a Paul Simon Can't wait it see him again

Amazing as always. Foy Vance was incredible and Brett was very energetic.

Aside from the crowd being shitty this was one of the best shows I've been to. Brett puts on a hell of a show and made the night so much fun! The opener, Foy Vance was also great but most of the crowd didn't give him the time of day, such a shame.

Brett Dennen put on a great show! We were dancing all night! His opening act, Foy Vance, was also a very talented performer.

Just awesome in all ways! Great venue and the music! Brett rocked it - soulful, engaging and inspiring!

Having seen Brett perform as a solo act, I was particularly impressed with how well he used his band. Never did the band's power overshadow the lyrical content. Never did the music seem disconnected from the lyrical direction of each song. Brett is a brilliant communicator. He becomes the lyrics of each song and he drew me in from the first syllable of the night and never once faltered. His focus was laser-like in its intensity, but natural and unforced. What can I say about his songs? They're brilliant and instant classics. His new material blew me away and his old material was played with the commitment of an artist that writes relevant material, and is just as alive today as it was when it was first written. Brett Dennen is becoming the voice of the underdog, the Dylan of the New Age, and I can't wait to see him when he comes back again!

I left after an hour. The band sounded pretty decent but Dennen has no rapport with audience and every song sounded the same. I only went to see Foy Vance, the opener, who I have seen twice before and he is amazing! We got screwed because the drive from Providence to Boston took almost three hours and we completely missed Foy. I'll never try to get up there on a Friday again.

The concert was a lot of fun. The music is very catchy and danceable, It leaves you with a positive feeling. I have seen him playing by himself before and that was wonderful, but this band added so much to his performance. Brett Dennen is a very original rising talent and well worth seeing.

I REALLY wanted to love this show, and while I think Brett and his band are wonderful musicians, this music and the live show were lackluster. Cheesy, easy pop songs without any bite, funk, edge. At all. We left early.

Great seats, loved the local beer selection and the specials available, clean restrooms, helpful and friendly staff.

From the wonderful Carolina Theatre to the final note, it was a fantastic evening! I can't stress enough how great the sound is in this venue. I have heard so many great musicians in poor sounding venues and it ruins the show. Not the case here. Brett was great from start to finish. After the show I searched his website for his next show and saw that he is playing almost every night from now through the end of May! If he can bring it every night like he did on Monday, you are in for a treat! All the musicians are extremely talented and had a very tight sound.

Foy Vance was unknown to me prior to this show and he blew me away. His voice was amazing and soulful. Brett has a very particular stage presence that reminds you to have fun with life and not to take things too seriously while his lyrics remind you that there are things worth fighting for. He is a marvelous entertainer and seems like the type of guy with whom you would love to sit down and discuss life over a beer.

Brett Dennen is always a favorite! He rocked some of his new songs, but also mixed in all the old favorites! He is an amazing artist and always sounds like his records in person!

Best show I've ever seen!! Very interactive and so much fun!!

What can I say, it was Brett Dennen and he was fabulous! But the better story is, this was the first date for my wife and I, opps gave away the ending. Anyhow 6 months later we were married and after a small ceremony we went and saw Brett play at The Stone Mountain Arts Center in Brownfield Maine. We were lucky enough to meet him after the show and tell our story.

Dennen seemed a bit distracted when first entering the stage with his 4 man band backing him up, but after a few songs the concert really took off! The set list was completely improvised and what song to play next were decided on stage. The concert lasted for almost two hours and after two solo songs by Brett the band re-united for a powerful grand finale. Brett Dennen really knows how to entertain an audience and he really put off a show, you must see him live!

Loved the show, the opener was fantastic and brett was incredible! would definitively go again.

Brent Dennen and the warm up band were amazing! This was a fantastic show, very lively and entertaining. The House of Blues is a very nice venue, and the sound and production of the show was great.

Songs 1-3 were great...typical Brett in eccentric fashion. However, he admittedly lost his voice and crapped it up for the remainder or the show. I would love to see him again when his voice is 100%, because I know he is a great singer and his performances are very entertaining.

This show was AWESOME!! I would defiantly go see him again.

The opening band for Brett Dennen was incredible. Totally check them out! Brett was pretty good also, but he was losing his voice so it was not as good as it could have been. Overall, fun concert and great venue!

In my opinion, the best part of this show was the opening act, Blind Pilot. They sounded excellent, with tight harmonies a wide range of emotions in their 45 minute set. Brett Dennen also performed well, given that he was feeling under the weather from lots of recent touring and was beginning to lose his voice.

I have already written to Brett's management team, commending him on a brilliant show under the toughest of circumstances. In the face of a sore throat, the ultimate gotcha for a singer with such a fantastic voice, Brett soldiered through and gave the most gutsy vulnerable performance ever! Because his voice was touch-and-go, we were treated to an impromptu acoustic part of the set. Not only did Brett not knock off early, he gave a long encore and played over an hour and a half. Way to go Brett! This is why we love you!

This event was amazing! Brett Dennen rocked as usual!! THe pageant is such a great venue! I would love to see all of my concerts there!

Brett's voice was basically gave out since he was sick... so the concert wasn't very good. The opening act was better than Brett was.

Such a great show! Brett in so entertaining and full of energy! He is so great live! Love his voice, he's so talented! One of the best concert's ive been to! We even got to meet him afterwards!

This was my fourth Brett Dennen show for the Loverboy tour. It has been stellar every single time. Him and the band always have such great energy. He even had a sore throat, but he stuck it out and gave a great show!

Absolutely loved the show! Brett Dennen was great live, and the opening act, Blind Pilot, was really good too!

Great atmosphere, great music! Awesome concert overall!

Good music, nice venue. Nice small stage with limited seating and good sound. We were pleasantly surprised.

Brett Dennen opened for Iron & Wine at the Fox. He was playing acoustically, and it was fun to watch him enjoy his own music and share it with everyone. He Sings. He Dances. He Drinks Coffee.

Brett Dennen hits your core with his unique voice and funky hip movin style. My sister and I danced, sang, laughed, and celebrated our night together. Thanks Brett!

Really enjoyed this show. Brett Dennen and Dawes were both so lively and engaging. Wish the show never ended!

I've seen a lot of concerts; John Mayer, Train, Jack Johnson, G Love, Jewel, etc. Brett Dennen has without a doubt been the best concert I have been to. I loved the location, (State Theater in Portland, ME), and it felt like a concert should feel like. It was casual, but fun, and I will never ever forget it. I could have stayed there and listened to him play for the rest of my life. The opening band Dawes was great too, I'd love to see them again.

Bobby Long and his band mates really rocked! Bobby gave an extremely powerful performance. He didn't hold anything back. His soulful voice is perfect for his sexy, bluesy songs. The guitarist, bass player, and drummer all gave strong performances which really lent power to Bobby's songs. I wish they could have played longer. I could listen to Bobby all night.

This was my first time attending a Brett Dennen concert, and I had a wonderful time. The opening acts, Evan Watson and Eric Hutchinson, were both very entertaining, but Brett took it to another level. He started the concert with some good news: his flight got cancelled, so we got a little longer of a show than planned. He played a great set, was very funny in between songs, rocked out on the guitar, and busted out some pretty sweet dance moves, all while barefoot! He came out after the show to greet fans, take pictures, and sign autographs. He was very personable, and I definitely recommend his show. I cannot wait to see him again.

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 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.

I was very impressed with how magical brett dennon was. He has a lot of soul. Venue was small and easy to navigate.

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.

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.

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.

one of those rare nights where everything is just right...huge Dennen fan so no surprise there 1st time at port city, very nice litl venue, will deff go back...good staff good drinks fair prices, another great nite in port town...and I should mention that the crowd was really great too FUN FUN FUN

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.

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.

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.

Brett Dennen's show was very casual and personal. He engaged with us as an audience and played requests. He is oh so talented and charming too! Love this funky guy!

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.

Great set from Brett. Very intimate with the small crowd at the Opera House. Very enjoyable with good sound quality and great crowd interaction.

Brett Dennen is always a fantastic time. Great performer :)

We were not told that it was 21+ so we had a bit of trouble getting in, but they finally allowed us to go in. The Tralf venue is pretty dark but in a good way, and it was a nice surprise to have seating available. The opener, Andrew Belle, was pretty good, but less energetic. Once Brett and his crew came on, more people came to dance in front of the stage. Music was as great as expected, and later Brett came on to do some solo acoustic stuff.

A cool little venue with some lounging chairs and benches surrounding a large dance floor with bar upper level. Opening act was Willy Tea and a few songs were really good, brought the vibe down a bit with his darker stuff but lightened it up at the end. Brett played solo acoustic for the 1.5 hours and went by too fast. Would have liked to see him longer. Look forward to seeing Brett again!

Great show, as always!! Can't wait to see him again. Jeremy Messersmith was a great opener and worth keeping an eye on!

Great show, came all the way from Venezuela to watch this show! no regrets!

The acoustic mix could have been improved. Vocals were drowned out by instruments

Perfect music from one of musics most relevant artists. Enough said.

Brett Dennen is a polished musician and sounds very good live. The band was great that backed him up. The music just didn't get old. You can tell he is a great dude.

Absolutely loved this performance. This was my first time seeing Brett Dennen in concert. I didn't know any of his songs but a friend of mine urged me to go. I am SO glad I was able to see such an amazing show. Brett has moved to my top 10 list of live performances.

i'm a concert snob and there are few people i'll pay money to see. i'd never seen brett in concert before so i was super excited and had high expectations...he certainly did not disappoint!!! i'm more in love with his music than i have been over the past 6 years since i first (and thankfully) stumbled upon him. his music is ridiculously good and even more fun to listen to while watching him. :)

I had never heard of the opening band Blind Pilot, but they were really good. Loved their music and you could tell the band did too. Brett Dennon was excellent. His charm & charisma make his show one of a kind! Would see him again & again! Proud to wear his concert T-shirt & tell my friends who don't know him what they're missing out on!

The vocal acoustics for Blind Pilot were amazing!!! They sounded just like their album... but then Brett got up and I could hardly understand any of his lyrics. So I don't know if it was poor equipment adjustment, or if he just doesn't sound as good live or what. Overall though I loved the show!!!!

i loved the Brett Dennen concert - I just discovered him about 3 weeks before the concert - heard a familiar tune on the radio and announcer credited him. I ordered 3 CDs right away and couldn't stop listening. Where has he been all my life? He was wonderful in concert and played almost all my favorites and there are so many. Many fans singing along with his awesome lyrics was special too.

This is the fifth time I have seen Brett in concert. He gets better every time. He is more comfortable performing now and gives a great show. He means every word he sings.

Awesome night! Brett wow us with his new stuff and added enough of his old songs (not that any are that old) to make a great mix. Band was also sweet!

Great concert, great venue, beautiful place, easy parking... everything was great =)

Such a great show! Felt like a proud mom, last saw Brett perform on Dave Matthews cruise. Brett makes you want to dance & sing right along with him.

Opening act Dawes was excellent, and Brett Dennen was phenomenal. Came a long way for the show with my four year old daughter and it was well worth it.

Love Brett wish he had played more oldies fantastic finish and his donations to charity ROCK!

Best show I've seen in awhile! He has such talent and moves me with his lyrics! Love that he was so silly shakin his booty and being cute ;)! Can't wait to hopefully see him in the future!!

Brett Dennen was amazing and so much fun! the man has seductive hips that keep you dancing all night long. excellent performance. I plan on seeing him again. :D

Brett Dennen is a great dancer and is a phenomenal guitarist. The Fox Theater is a fantastic place to see a concert - or even the City of Oakland's Inauguration Festivities.

The show was fabulous. Brett had so much positive energy to share and his dancing was delightful. The Fox is a great venue.
