Brett Dennen - singer-songwriter

Brett Dennen’s journey to becoming a rock star began with a dream to become one of those super cool, long haired, summer camp counselors that wears hiking boots and plays old guitars by the campfire.  Now he’s a famous singer, song writer that tours around the world.  But he does it pretty differently than most.  At the beginning of his career, he realized that it was pretty easy to get stuck in a pattern of playing at the same venues in the same city’s over and over again.  He realized there’s so much more out there than just the established way, and the reality is that “established way” doesn’t really always work for everyone anyway.  So, he decided to expand his thinking and then his actions to do things differently and play in different capacities.  From small dive bars on the East coast to mountain resorts on the West, he decided he wanted to travel to his audience instead of having them come to him.  And while he was mixing things up, why not add in his passions for skiing and surfing too?  And then wrap it all up by using his platform to raise awareness around preserving and protecting these environments he loves.  And talk about climate change and give everyone a real and tangible call to action to get involved!  This is Brett Dennen’s story and it’s all about how he’s learned to dance to the beat of his own drum.
