Dennis Brennan and his stellar band of revolving musicians return to rock Wednesday nights.  In a new format and a new price, special guests open the second set each week with a short set.  Look for some to cover Dennis Brennan songs.

TONIGHTS GUEST: GREG KLYMA
an old-school troubadour with contemporary savvy...
Greg Klyma is a prolific songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and seasoned performer, bringing to every stage a catalog of material that assumes his audiences are both smart and able to laugh. His birth date puts him squarely in the middle of Generation X, but Greg is an old-school troubadour. His enduring themes, articulate and amusing stories, and populist ideals make him one of those rare young artists who is carrying the torch of Woody and Ramblin' Jack. He rolls in off the road, pulls out a guitar, and proceeds to take us back to the basics: family, love, gratitude, and laughter. It's the timeless art of the true troubadour, keeping alive the American folk tradition.

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.

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.
