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

Brett Dennen

I come from a place of sincerity. I write about what I see and feel. I write about what I want, I don’t have a political agenda. Politics may enter into a song but it always comes from the heart.

I think the two biggest issues are world hunger and health, and all the things that stem from bad food.
