Brett Dennen at Paradise Rock Club (2/14)

Just a heads up for those last minute Valentines Day ideas, Brett Dennen from the birthplace of “peace, love and rock n’ roll”, San Fran, is playing the Paradise on Saturday.  Show is sold out but there’s always the craigslist approach: http://boston.craigslist.org/search/tix?query=brett+dennen&minAsk=min&maxAsk=max

The Phish and jam band gang appear to make up a good portion of his following but his sound is appealing to a wider audience then a typical jam band. Brett himself reminds us that there was a time that to be a good musician meant you had to have a good voice and that was all. No crazy style, don’t have to be the stereotypical good looking girl or guy. Just step right on up, pluck your guitar and let it all hang out.

Brett is also making an appearance on the CBS Early Show (8 am) this Saturday as a Valentines Day special.
