This week’s episode, which happens to be the first, features none other than one of the nicest guys ever, Brett Dennen, the acclaimed Oakdale, California-raised singer songwriter of over a dozen albums with tunes like Cassidy, Wild Child, and Comeback Kid (That’s My Dog), the theme song of the hit NBC show About a Boy. He released his first record in 2004, one year after that signed to Universal, and four years later was opening for John Mayer, touring Australia, topping the folk charts… it’s been an amazing run from little clubs in Brooklyn to Letterman, the Newport folk fest and countless campfires in between. Chances are you’ve heard these songs and other jams, and if you haven’t, it’s really time to check out his scores of insanely hummable records. With a new summer 2023 tour kicking off across Europe and the U.S., and a whole bunch of other interesting pursuits he’s behind which we touch on in the show, it’s just so refreshing to meet an artist who is down to earth and laid back — you could almost forget he’s earned nearly a million monthly listeners on Spotify and raves from Rolling Stone on down. Best of all, this episode features not one but two live performances by Brett of a brand new song, released June 2, 2023, CUTTING TO THE CHASE, as well as a spine-tinglling rendition of WILD CHILD, from 2013's hit record SMOKE AND MIRRORS. So grab a beer, relax, and enjoy this episode of Soul Boat Sessions with Brett Dennen.
