Anyone hear of Brett Dennen?
I just heard his music on Pandora and liked it, so I did a bit of research. From an interview with him,
Rv: So every show you play you give a portion of your earnings to a local charity?
BD: Yes.
Rv: You don’t hear that too often.
BD: No, and it’s been a lot of work making it happen. But I don’t do it for me. Giving money is only part of it. The biggest part is getting the charities to come to the shows and to speak in-between the acts to talk to the audience about what they do and how to get involved instead of just sitting at a booth. To me, that’s what’s most valuable.
Here is a link to his myspace. I apologize for linking to myspace, but you can hear his music, and the page isn't the typical myspace trash.
He has a concert in New York in a couple weeks, and the tickets are only $18. I think I am going.
