Brett Dennen on KHUM This Afternoon, Van Duzer Stage Tonight
Can we assume that if Brett Dennen has overcome a lifetime of redheadedness that he’ll find a way to make it to his Van Duzer Theatre solo gig despite Humboldt’s current post-apocalyptic conditions? LoCO knows the roughness of gingerhood. Like being named “Sue,” it prepares you for the shit. Our man should be fine.
In late 2013, folk-pop singer-songwriter Brett Dennen released his critically enjoyed fifth album Smoke and Mirrors. Good for him. This afternoon, before his JVD performance, he’ll sit down with KHUM word magician Mike Dronkers for the latest edition of Upstage Live. Who will fool who? Tune into KHUM 104.3/104.7 at 5 p.m. to find out.
(In the event you’re like, “Who the hell is Brett Dennen?” YouTube will assist you below.)
