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 the vocal powerhouse and Boston Music Award winner singer songwriter CHRISTIAN McNEILL.  CHRISTIAN 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: CHRISTIAN McNEILL
Christian McNeill is an Irish force of rock and soul reckoning. He is one of the hardest working and most electric performers in Boston, earning him "Male Vocalist of the Year" two times running in 2011 and 2012 at the Boston Music Awards. McNeill's songs are crafted for gritty live shows, anchored in rollicking music and catching hooks. McNeill made a name for himself with Boston's favorite residency, drawing the area's best talent together to play his potent songs. His positive energy is always honest and caught the ear of Steven van Zandt who put his single "Zero" on heavy rotation for his globally broadcast phenomenon, Underground Garage. In January 2013, McNeill is releasing his debut album Everything's Up For Grabs, making this word-of-mouth Boston sensation available for a growing audience of rock and soul believers.

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.
