I think everybody, no matter what they eat, they should eat at least fifty percent raw food. But I eat some seafood.
BRETT DENNEN

Fifty Matter Thinking
I think food is the great equalizer. Other than the ocean and the air, food is the thing that we all share in common. I think along with that comes the question of why are some people starving, and why do some people produce more food than they need, and why is food going to waste.

The people at festivals are much more open to dance and just sing along. They come right up to the stage and they’re very thankful.

Pain is a part of life. It’s certainly part of my creative process.
BRETT DENNEN

Creative Pain Process
Every song is completely different. Sometimes they come like a lump of clay and it’s your job to chip away and find out what’s in the center. Sometimes it comes like swimming fish, and you have to follow it and see where it leads. Sometimes it comes totally fragmented.

I want to write songs with meaning. I have high standards for my work.
BRETT DENNEN

High Song Standards Writing
People really respond to the songs when I play them in concert. Every song comes from a different place emotionally or from a different headspace.

The ocean inspires me because there’s the energy of the water moving.
