Brett Dennen September 14, 2007

Folk-rock vocalist Brett Dennen's 2006 release 'So Much More' is just that - so much more than most debut albums are in its songwriting, musicianship and expressiveness. Compared to Tracy Chapman, Bob Dylan and Dave Matthews, Dennen's taking the critics by storm and picking up more than a few fans along the way. Meiko grew up in Roberta, Georgia, and her biggest influence was her dad. He played guitar and sang to her ever since she was a baby. His music was the only thing she ever listened to as a kid. And whoever bought her that Mariah Carey tape 'Emotions' did her a huge favor -- she would practice singing it every day. She owes her lucky ear to her dad and that tape!
