Dennis Brennan and his stellar band of revolving musicians return to rock a fall and winter season of Wednesday nights. As the band did last season, special guests open the second set each week with a short set. Look for some to cover Dennis Brennan songs. Tonight features Boston bassist and singer songwriter (Aimee Mann, Grant Lee Phillips, Will Dailey, Session Americana) KIMON KIRK. Kimon hits the stage at 10:15. Dennis and the band hit at 9:00PM sharp!
DENNIS BRENNAN....
To the uninitiated, Brennan could be considered Boston's own Leonard Cohen or Elvis Costello. His songwriting is respected by critics and musicians alike. Not only adept with the pen, Dennis Brennan is a highly accomplished performer and is known for his ability to span musical genres, styles, and era's with ease. His emotive and passionate voice is comfortable tackling classic country and R& B as well classic jazz, rock and blues. But it's really Brennan's originals that have set him apart. The Chicago Sun Times described him as "A rootsy, hard-edged rocker with the barroom soul of the pre-Woodstock Graham Parker and the unsparing insight of a working class poet." It's a fitting description if ever there was one. To the initiated faithful who attend every show, Dennis and his band (which includes guitarists Duke Levine, Kevin Barry, Russell Chudnofsky, Ian Kennedy, and Tony Savarino on any given night along with the rhythm section of Billy Beard and Richard Gates plus keyboardist Jim Gambino) have etched so many indelible magical moments on the local collective conscious that they return each week to see what will happen next.
TONIGHTS GUEST: KIMON KIRK
Kimon Kirk has played the bass and provided harmony vocals for such artists as Aimee Mann, Grant-Lee Phillips, Amy Correia, Sarah Borges, and Ramona Silver, and was a founding member of Session Americana, winners of multiple Boston Music Awards. Recent bass-playing engagements have also included stints with Melissa Ferrick, Will Dailey, Lori McKenna, Gaby Moreno, and Mike Viola. He has recorded two solo albums, 2011s full-length Songs For Society and 2009s EP Eye On You. He produced five releases in 2013: Steve Shook's Dignify, Kerry Schneider's Detour, Tom McBride's Morning in Glen Burnie, David Champagne's Agnostic Gospel and Ben Keyes's The Last Laugh.
More on DENNIS BRENNAN...
Music is in his blood and it shows not just in the impressive body of work, but in the workman like attitude he brings to the stage each and every time. It's what inspired J. Geils frontman Peter Wolf to remark, "The biggest challenge for any artist is to sustain and keep growing. Many musicians who stick with it can fall into a trap of becoming parodies of themselves. Dennis has always kept maturing, which is one of the hardest challenges, and that's why I always enjoy checking him out." It's also why band mate Duke Levine says "Dennis is such a strong performer, he never phones it in, and that means everything to a sideman. If Dennis is giving something that is amazing, then you'd better give it, too." Or as guitarist Kevin Barry says, "I have never played with Dennis when he gives less than 100 percent."
Dennis Brennan is a local treasure and he continues to impress and evolve. Do not miss your chance to see him... every Wednesday night right in your own back yard.
The Dennis Brennan Band performs two sets every Wednesday night starting at 9:00 (8:30 doors). Ticket price may vary from week to week.
