05.12.08:: BRETT FEATURED IN ROLLING STONE & ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY!
"Cee-Lo Helps Bring 500 Greatest Sing-Along Songs to Life for Kids Charity"

"Last year Atlanta music manager Josh Rifkind brought Rolling Stone’s Top 500 Songs Of All Time to life over the course of an epic 10-night concert. This year he’s staging the 500 Greatest Sing-Along Songs, with all the proceeds again benefiting the 500 Songs For Kids Foundation. The event — which wraps tomorrow at Smith’s Olde Bar in Atlanta — will conclude with Gnarls Barkley’s Cee-Lo singing “Hey Jude,” the Number 1 song on the bill. Other performers include Butch Walker on “Sister Christian,” Arrested Development on “Livin’ On A Prayer,” Artist to Watch Brett Dennen on Feist’s “1234” (see video, above) and Cracker, who performed their 1993 hit “Low.” The 500 Kids Foundation brings live music to children in hospitals and special needs camps. “I started Songs For Kids Foundation because I thought I could have a profound impact on someone and something far bigger than myself,” Rifkind says. “It’s been unbelievable so far this year, and it’s amazing to watch 1,500 musicians getting together for such an important cause. We’re through 400 bands so far, 100 more to go!”

EW'S: "GUYS ON THE RISE: 8 EMERGING SINGER/SONGWRITERS"
"Thanks in part to fan John Mayer, who's taking him on tour this summer, the 28-year-old Californian's tender, raspy-voiced ballads are gaining wider notice. His songs have also turned up on Grey's Anatomy and American Idol."

hot off the press
reviews.

“A beautiful and spirited record. Instantly likeable.” –John Mayer

“It is a rare combination when an artist can be as good a singer and guitarist as Brett is, but it is his commitment to the word that makes his song live and breathe. His music has a playfulness in its bounce while the lyrics ring with a truth beyond his years.” –Michael Franti

"He's timeless-he's probably twenty-five, but he seems like he's twenty-five in 1972."- Rolling Stone

“Brett Dennen is the performer we've been awaiting for far too long: a singer-songwriter who might be the missing link between our hopes and a time when musicians just tried to sing the truth, even if it made folks uncomfortable…He’s something special.”- The Herald, Seattle

“Brett Dennen is on my very short list of artists to watch. So Much More is a joyous dance - deliciously steeped in hope, faith and unconditional love.” - Chris Douridas, KCRW

These are important facts that I have to stress...) There was this huge study done... on this group of women who had contracted ovarian cancer. All of the women took testosterone quit it after a week, because they said that their desire for sex became intolerable because it was so great. Scientific research states that having testosterone in a person is hormonally very taxing
on the body and mind , like PMS or menopause except that it is 10x more
troubling because it never leaves and the imbalance only heightens without sex. Men, especially men who are good fathers have a huger amount of testosterone in them. My music is just out there to thank the goddesses in the sex industry and goddesses who are out to please their man like he is a god. To those ladies, much respect in making the world a better place by rewarding those who deserve the rewards. Of course, a womans value goes far beyond her looks and body. A woman is a natural nurturer, so a caring woman understands what a REAL man goes through and therefore would naturally nurture a mans shortcomings, so a womans value is significant, especially when she understands that a woman can never truly feel like a man feels, therefore she cannot truly judge a mans heart based strictly on his sex drive. A woman who doesn't understand a mans inner-workings also has no right to judge a woman who knows a mans inner workings more fully, for if she truly understood what a mans workings are, she would probably be nurturing her man on a much more intimate level than she does today and not judge a male so harshly.

A GODDESS AND A SWEETHEART ARE ONE AND THE SAME AND
A BITCH IS THE EXACT POLAR OPPOSITE. Treat the world how you would want to be treated.
