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 new bluegrass / Americana sounds of fiddlers and singer songwriters Ellie Buckland and Isa Burke.  Ellie and Isa hit 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: ELLIE BUCKLAND and ISA BURKE
Ellie Buckland and Isa Burke are fiddlers and singer-songwriters who love traditional music and close harmonies. With two fiddles, two guitars, and two intertwining voices, they perform old folk songs, new Americana, and original songs in an acoustic roots style. They met at a fiddle camp in the woods of Maine, their shared home state, and are now both studying at Berklee College of Music. Whenever possible, they are joined by a fellow Mainer, Mali Obomsawin on bass. They bring heart, soul, energy and depth to honest music that blends the old and the new.

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.
