Love Speaks Tour Artist Profile Brett Dennen’s greatest gift as a songwriter is his ability to work with one foot in a tradition associated with social protest while the other foot is in the love song tradition. The effect is altogether convincing, leaving us with the sense that we have on our hands a performer for whom the personal is always political and the political is always personal. In an age in which we have grown weary of artists’ conveniently detachable political asides, it’s galvanizing to see an artist weaving together his emotional and political commitments. Brett’s message is a commitment to the marriage of music and change. So Much More is a recording that is going to have people talking. This is an artist who will never get out there and sell himself, simply because he isn’t interested and, more importantly, he won’t need to. There’s no resisting the beautiful moment when a character like this comes walking toward us. Prepare to open your doors. This is the kind of guest we all hope for. What other people are saying: “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 songs live and breathe. His music has a playfulness in its bounce while the lyrics ring with a truth beyond his years.” --Michael Franti “A beautiful and spirited record. Instantly likeable.” --John Mayer “He’s timeless-he’s probably twenty-five, but he seems like he’s twenty-five in 1972.” --John Mayer as featured in Rolling Stone “Dennen has an emotive, wavering voice that is equally unique and appealing. Hope drives his idealistic lyrics.”--Washington Post “The first time you hear Brett Dennen, it's his voice that stops you short and makes you pay attention…The songs on his new CD, So Much More are soft, too: mostly delicate '70s folk tunes with sensitive, earnest lyrics. “-Christian Bordal, NPR “Dennen's acoustic-guitar-based music is breezy and accessible, with attractive melodies, fluid rhythms and enough sonic parallels to please any generation of listeners…his lyrics tumble out in an appealing jumble of catchy alliterations and kaleidoscopic images, and address subjects both timely and timeless.”- San Francisco Gate “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 “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 Seattle Herald .

For Immediate Release: January 10, 2007 Contact: Michele Johnson 615.255.0331 Managing Attorney, Tennessee Justice Center Email: [email protected] Ashley Webster, 615-599-2575 Nashville Area Habitat for Humanity Email:[email protected] Brett Dennen Performance at 3rd and Lindsey on Sunday, January 14, Will Benefit Tennessee Justice Center and Habitat for Humanity Nashville, TN -- Songwriter and singer Brett Dennen, whose artistry has been compared to the folk song singing greats of the 60s and 70s, arrives in Nashville on Sunday, January 14, to perform at 3rd and Lindsey in a benefit concert for the Tennessee Justice Center and Nashville Area Habitat for Humanity. Dennen, who is on a multi-state cross country Love Speaks tour, will perform one show at 9:00 p.m. Dennen selects two charities in each city in which he performs to be the beneficiaries of his performance. “The Tennessee Justice Center is very pleased to have been selected as one of the beneficiaries of this concert,” said Michele Johnson, managing attorney at TJC. “His music is known for beautifully expressing the truth about the social issues of today in a timeless way.” “This is a wonderful way to reach out to people with a new, innovative approach,” said Chris McCarthy, CEO of Nashville Area Habitat for Humanity (NAHFH). “This says a lot about Brett Dennen and his concern for the need to look at where we are as a society in addressing the needs of our citizens.

A Conversation with Brett Dennen by Frank Goodman (1/2007, Puremusic.Com)
A Conversation with Brett Dennen by Frank Goodman (1/2007, Puremusic.com) He's like a new kind of human being to me, this Brett Dennen. After spending time with him this week, I feel that way even stronger than after the positively confounding impression that his new CD, There's So Much More, left on me. If he'd said that he was an alien, I could have swallowed that; it would even have made sense to me. Because I'm simply not accustomed to meeting and spending time with people that appear to be so incorruptible, so odd and yet so self-assured; so, uh, enlightened and inner-directed, if I might venture all that. At 27, no less. But he's every bit of that, and there's no telling what this West Coast youth might get up to next. His tunes are hitting the Television, via Grey's Anatomy and Men In Trees, and he's out on tour with John Mayer and Sheryl Crow. Come on, now--he's got one self- released record, and one out on Dualtone Records, an astute but small label in Nashville, better known for alt-Country releases. How do you get there so fast with that little infrastructure? His music is great, first of all. His tunes are so infectious and so deep at the same time; they're a perfect blend of those usually disparate qualities. His playing is damned convincing, and his singing is like no one else. It's a very high voice, but with that inner directedness that makes it Strong.

Annual Report Sep 2019
ANNUAL REPORT SEP 2019 - OCT 2020 INDEX INTRODUCTION INDEX OF EVENTS COMPLETED EVENTS DETAIL COMPLETED LIVE STREAM DETAIL COVID AFFECTED EVENTS DETAIL INDEX OF UPCOMING EVENTS NON PROFIT CULTURAL PARTNERS MAINTENANCE AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS REPORT FINANCIAL REPORT MARKETING REPORT COVID HANDBOOK To City Manager Jimmy Morales, The 19/20 season can be viewed as two distinct segments. The first six months represent major improvements and growth, followed by the sudden public closure and responses to the Covid health crisis. The year began with the renewal of the Rhythm Foundation’s management agreement. Experience and momentum gathered during the first management term were brought to bear and a season of widely diverse cultural offerings was undertaken. Long awaited capital improvements of the canopy covering and new seating system were completed in February. The season was in the middle of the busiest period in mid March when we closed the facility to the public in mid March due to the Covid health crisis. We immediately modified and adapted our operations using live streaming technologies to complete the Rhythm Foundations’s 32nd season. Emergency funding and support from the City, County and Federal government have been critical to sustaining the organization through this prolonged health crisis. We proactively engaged with community partners to identify funding, tech support and best practices for safe operations. Since going virtual in mid-March, we’ve broadcast sixteen (16) full length concerts as live streams to a collective audience of over 100,000 viewers from all over the world. The 20/21 season ahead is anchored by partnerships with the leading cultural presenting organizations in the South Florida, furthering our goal of establishing the North Beach Bandshell as a major performing arts facility in our region.
