Brett Dennen - Loverboy

In 2004 Brett Dennen released his self-titled debut, followed quickly by his sophomore LP So Much More (2006). The release drew the attention of John Mayer, for whom Dennen opened in 2006-07. In 2008 the artist released his follow-up, Hope for the Hopeless, which established Dennen as a definitive new voice in modern songwriting. He's worked with Femi Kuti, Natalie Merchant, and Jason Mraz; he's toured with Dave Matthews, Rodrigo y Gabriela, and The Fray.
