Brett Dennen in a nutshell: a soulful storyteller and vibrant folk-pop virtuoso.
A Northern California native, Dennan has been captivating audiences for nearly two decades with his distinct blend of folk-pop melodies, thought-provoking lyrics, and soulful vocal prowess. His signature red hair and lanky frame are as unmistakable as the music that has earned him legions of dedicated fans and critical acclaim.
Dennen’s musical journey began in earnest at Camp Jack Hazard, a summer camp where he first discovered his love for singing and songwriting. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, and Joni Mitchell, Dennen crafted his own unique style that reflects his passion for storytelling and social commentary.
Dennen’s debut album, Brett Dennen (2004), introduced the world to his undeniable talent and served as a springboard for a career that has since seen the release of several successful albums including So Much More (2006); Hope for the Hopeless (2008); Loverboy (2011); Smoke and Mirrors (2013); Por Favor (2016); and See The World (2021). Each record has showcased Dennen’s evolution as an artist, one with a growing mastery of his craft and the ability to convey complex emotions through songwriting.

In recent years, Brett Dennen started to let the world in on his secrets. In 2017, he created the “Lift Series,” an annual tour during which he combines shows in ski towns with conservation initiatives and education. An avid skier and surfer, as well as a conservationist, Dennen works with local organizations to spearhead beach clean-ups and educate young people to become climate stewards, driving awareness through his music and marrying just a few of his many sides in oan effort to help drive positive change.
Despite the success of his career, Dennen’s connection to his roots remains. In 2022, he tapped into his love for the outdoors and summer camp memories, hosting the first annual Camp Dennen outdoor retreat at Constellation Creek in the greater Lake Tahoe area, establishing a space for community, nature, music, and art.
