About Brett Dennen
Brett Dennen has been a staple of the folk and singer-songwriter world for nearly two decades. His voice — high, clear, unmistakable — pairs with melodies that tend to stick in your head for days. Songs like “Make You Crazy” and “Ain’t No Reason” have earned him a loyal following, and his live shows lean into the kind of easygoing energy that makes an audience feel like they’re sitting in someone’s living room. He’s the kind of artist who’s never going to headline Madison Square Garden, and that’s exactly the point — he’s at his best in rooms like The Egg.
If you want to get into his catalog before the show, Brett Dennen’s music on Amazon is a solid place to start.
The Venue
The Egg’s Hart Theatre is one of the best listening rooms in the Capital Region — seated, focused, with acoustics that let every note land. The venue sits on the Empire State Plaza in downtown Albany, and the experience of walking through the Plaza to see a show here is part of what makes it special. Full Egg venue guide here.
