Singer/Songwriter Brett Dennen and Brazilian band, Forro in the Dark recently collaborated to record a must-have iTunes Live Session that is available now.
Dennen's uptempo, optimistic offerings have earned comparisons to Bob Marley and Paul Simon, while Forró in the Dark is a New York-based collective of Brazilian ex-pats. Best known for their collaborations with David Byrne, The Brazilian Girls and Thom Yorke, Forro in the Dark take the rural dance music of Brazil and update it with a New York vibe.
The EP includes reworked songs from Brett's current album, Hope For The Hopeless, including hit single, "Make You Crazy," a brand new song, "Joan of Arc," and fan favorite (and New York City's cab staple) "Blessed." Fans lucky enough to have seen Brett Dennen and Jason Mraz perform together in October will recognize their notable duet "Long Road to Forgiveness."
This Fall, Brett plans a vibe-happy cross-country tour with Grace Potter and The Nocturnals. As Brett told Billboard Magazine, "I'm really excited about this tour because I think it's going to be a little more rocking than tours I've done in the past." He added, "Grace really knows how to rock it."
Also in November, Last Call with Carson Daly will dedicate an entire show to Brett's music on November 23rd. The acoustic performance and interview was taped at the intimate Library Ale House in Santa Monica - one of Brett's favorite haunts. Fans were invited via a last minute Twitter about the taping, turning the evening into an impromptu concert similar to the coffee house shows Brett was playing just six years ago before his grassroots explosion.
Most recently, Dennen released his current single, "Heaven," featuring Natalie Merchant and spent the summer touring some of the biggest festivals like Bonnaroo, Rothbury, Bumbershoot, Austin City Limits, etc, while also playing dates with O.A.R. and Jason Mraz.
