Squaw Valley Hosts Free Brett Dennen Concert on July 7

Brett Dennen is the singer of last summer’s hit single Comeback Kid (That’s My Dog)

[Olympic Valley, Calif.] June 28, 2012 – For the grand finale of Squaw Valley’s week-long 4th of July celebration, Squaw Valley is hosting a free blowout concert with Brett Dennen, singer of last summer’s hit single "Comeback Kid (That’s My Dog)," among other great hits. The free show will take place at the base of KT-22 in Squaw Valley’s breath-taking natural amphitheater.

“We had a phenomenal turnout for last year’s free Big Head Todd and the Monsters concert over 4th of July Weekend – and we want to continue that tradition by bringing more big name acts to Squaw for everyone to enjoy,” said Sean Kristl, Squaw Valley’s Marketing Manager.

A radio favorite, Brett Dennen is known for his ability to blend carefully constructed, poetic lyrics with sunny, funk/African-inflected grooves. Having been called a definitive new voice in modern songwriting, Dennen has worked with Femi Kuti, Natalie Merchant, and Jason Mraz; toured with John Mayer, Dave Matthews, Rodrigo y Gabriela, and The John Butler Trio; and played at Bonarroo, Austin City Limits, Coachella, Outside Lands, and Newport Folk Festival.

Speaking about his latest album “Loverboy” which included hit singles “Comeback Kid (That’s My Dog)” and “Sydney (I’ll Come Running),” Dennen said “I want people to put on Loverboy and feel good. I want to make people dance!”
For a complete 4th of July weekend, music lovers can experience Brett Dennen in concert and stay just steps away from the venue at The Village at Squaw Valley. Guests can enjoy 15% off lodging rates when they book 2 nights at The Village over the weekend – plus two free tickets to Squaw Valley’s Aerial Tram and mountaintop pool ($82 value). Weekend lodging rates start at $223 per night for a one bedroom condominium suite, with a total weekend savings of $155. A two night minimum stay is required for Saturday, July 7.
