Brett Dennen ~ Live Session EP

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.”

Album ~ “Trick or Treat: The Best of SCI” by String Cheese Incident

Editorial Review from Amazon.com

“The String Cheese Incident unveils their new live release, Trick Or Treat, TODAY! The timing is fitting, considering 2-CD/2-LP set was culled from a variety of epic SCI “Hulaween” shows. From Philadelphia’s Electric Factory (1999), Portland, Maine’s State Theatre (2000), NYC’s Theatre at Madison Square Garden (2001), Sin City’s Cox Pavillion (2003) and the Exhibition Center @ Alliant Energy Center in Madison, Wisconsin (2004) – Trick or Treat journeys through the years to re-visit some of the band’s most classic Incidents from Halloweens past.

This Best Of set offers seven of SCI’s famous Halloween cover sets including String Cheese performing songs by such artists as the Beatles, KC & The Sunshine Band, Phish, Nelly and many others. Trick or Treat features brand new original artwork from Michael Everett, and will also be available separately as a 9-disc Trick or Treat Deluxe Box Set.”

About the Album ~ “Blood Of Man” by Mason Jennings

From the Artist“It all kinda started at Christmas when my sons and I were hanging ornaments on the tree. We have an ornament that is a little electric guitar and my six-year-old son was looking at it and asked, “What’s this Dad?” I said, “What??? It’s an electric guitar.” To which he replied, “What’s that?”

Well, I was kinda horrified so I ran downstairs and pulled out an old hollowbody electric (that is my wife’s), an amp and I came upstairs, plugged it in and ripped into “My Generation” by The Who. Well, my one son actually climbed me in point 2 seconds and leaped off my shoulders while the other one looked like I had plugged the lights on the tree into him. They flew around the room dancing for two straight wonderful hours. I got the point.

I grew up playing only electric and it was like remembering how to be free. For many reasons, it was so needed. So I got free. The next week I headed into my studio and recorded “City Of Ghosts” and away I went. I wrote about the war and being a parent in “The Field“, two topics close to my heart. I wrote about being a teenager and how heavy that time can feel and how it can shape the path you take. So, gratitude is in there somewhere. I wrote about doubts and fear, about God and Spirit, and about hope and possibility and things that are elusive and hard to name. I wrote mostly about them, and they came into the room like angels and beasts. This whole time I knew the record would be called Blood Of Man.

I also kept hearing two phrases in my head during recording. Maybe you can decipher them, for I know not where they come from or what they mean exactly: “Do you remember when the world was young?” and “In the beginning there was blood on the lamb.” Whew. I wrote about how hard it is to be 34 and be a parent and sane and married and true and positive and yourself and a man and funny and a decent person and a not decent person and human and in love. I turned the music up so loud so often that my ears rang every night.

I wrote about death, of course. I wrote about life. I wrote about pain and addiction. And I let it flow and left it raw. I worked fast and I let my heart lead. I guess I have come to the point in my life and my art where I just want to make music that I love and not mess with it. If people dig it: cool. If not: cool. I will be making it anyway. I have to. I realized that too. By the grace of god: I have to make music. More importantly: I get to. Also, before anything, I am a music listener.

So, this record has not been messed with in any way. What you have is exactly the music I listen to in my van and the way I have given it to my friends on CD-Rs. My hope is that it can help where help is needed. Music saved my life and I am so grateful for it.

Thank you for listening. Rock.”
