Brett Dennen Lends His Unique Sound to 'About A Boy'

Brett Dennen Is New To Me, But You Might Know This Song


Brett Dennen is new to me. I’ve never heard his music, nor his name. However, he’s apparently been around for a while.

This song, ‘Comeback Kid (That’s My Dog)’, is something of a hit. In fact, the song is the theme song for the NBC television comedy ‘About A Boy.’ But it was also used in the series finale of ‘Wizards of Waverly Place.” I’ll be the first to admit, though, that I’ve never seen either of these programs. I guess that explains why I’ve never heard of him before.

Dennen made quite a number of waves back in 2008 and 2009. He was playing late night shows, opened for John Mayer, recognized by Rolling Stone as an ‘Artist to Watch,’ and Entertainment Weekly as one of eight ‘Guys to Watch.” Unfortunately, however, it seems that he’s more or less slid away from the public spotlight, the major exceptions being this song showing up in those shows. He hasn’t released an album for almost two years now.

He’s obviously completely different than the other three, but Brett Dennen is almost exactly the same age as Regina Spektor, Ingrid Michaelson, and Sara Bareilles, with all of them being 35.

I have to say that I like his work and glad it came across my Pandora station. It will be interesting to see if the northern California native can make his way back into the spotlight.
