A soulful folk pop artist from Northern California, Brett Dennen began his musical journey as a youth at Camp Jack Hazard. He now shares his passion for song and conservation during his own outdoor weekend retreat (Camp Dennen), among other initiatives. Inspired by ’70s icons Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, and Paul Simon for their melodic tunes and activism, Dennen dives deep into social issues through lyrics and storytelling that turn the personal political. Throughout the solitude of the pandemic, opener Langhorne Slim combated anxiety by composing music, breaking through his writer’s block to pen a series of songs that launched him onto a road of recovery and now a cross-country tour.
