"It was time to get back to basics." Brett Dennen says of his fifth record, Smoke & Mirrors. "I wanted to return to the folk and acoustic music I loved when I began writing. I decided to tap into my memories and explore new emotional territory as honestly as I could." Brett Dennen's music career began humbly around the camps of the Sierra Nevada mountain range-a retreat to which he would eventually return for inspiration on Smoke and Mirrors.

"Being in the mountains, aside from the inspiration, was so crucial to me, because as a kid I used to spend so much time in the mountains. And just being there helped me regain that self-confidence. I remembered who I was." "After several years of consistent recording and touring, some real time off was necessary. I bought a house in the mountains and reconnected with my roots as a songwriter. I walked through the hills, enjoying the solitude, and only wrote when I was inspired."

The result - a beautiful collection of the intimate and anthemic. Brett has always found inspiration beyond his music as well. A talented visual artist and watercolorist, he's incorporated his paintings into his shows, and into his relationship with fans. He's climbed Everest and Kilimanjaro, guitar in hand, in support of several important non-profits, including The Impact Plan and the Love Hope Strength Foundation. And his unique taste and appreciation for food and drink is now on display through the launch of his new venture Dennen Wines. Brett's irresistible spirit runs through it all.
