The singer/songwriter will take his Fela Kuti and Joni Mitchell inspired tunes into intimate clubs, starting with The Doug Fir in Portland, Ore., on November 3.

Other stops include Hotel Café in Los Angeles (Novemeber 7-8), The Continental Club in Austin(November 11), and the Canal Room in New York City (November 18).

The mini-tour, sponsored by Guayaki Yerba Mate organic drinks, coincides with the release of Dennen’s album, Hope For The Hopeless.

The singer is determined to show fans that there is indeed a silver lining in this sick, sad world by giving an autographed album and a chance to win a hand-painted Martin acoustic guitar to the first 200 who order the disc at Brettdennen.net.

Aw, what a peach (organic even)!
