Brett Dennen

Musically, Brett Dennen hails from the Jason Mraz school of acoustic upbeat pop, but lyrically he often veers into a positive political vein akin to Michael Franti. Either way he plays it, his latest island-tinged songs are beloved by beachy girls looking for the next tree to climb. He comes to this tony Carnegie Hall engagement on the heels of his fifth LP, Smoke and Mirrors.
