The Dennis Brennan Band featuring Duke Levine, Kevin Barry, Richard Gates and Mark Teixeira return to The Lizard Lounge tonight performing two sets of classic Brennan featuring songs from their latest recording Into This World and well curated covers. Joining them tonight will be the incredible keyboardist and jazz accordion player Sonny Barbato.
Joe Sonny Barbato is one of New Englands great pianists and appears on numerous recordings with artists ranging in styles from jazz to country. Raised in Boston, Sonny has lived in Pittsburgh and New York City, playing alongside musicians Dave Budway, Jimmy Ponder, Jeff Tain Watts, Jennifer Jackson, Kenny Barron, and Marvin Sewell to name a few. While touring Europe and the States, he continues to freelance in the Boston and New York areas. Sonny is a fine bandleader who works with some of Bostons top musicians in duo, trio and quartet formats
MORE ON 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, Lyle Brewer, and Ian Kennedy on any given night along with the rhythm section of Billy Beard and Richard Gates) have etched so many indelible magical moments on the local collective conscious that they return each week to see what will happen next.
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 9:30 (8:30 doors). Ticket price may vary from week to week.
