Brett Dennen Finds a New Crowd at Sundance

Although he's perhaps most well-known for his heart-moving sets at music festivals (Bonnaroo, Sasquatch, now Coachella), Brett Dennen's been playing to a different kind of crowd lately. Fresh from a performance on the 'Jimmy Kimmel Show,' Dennen rolled into Park City, UT this past weekend for a showcase at the Sundance Film Festival. He wasn't there to plug a film, and although it was his second Sundance, he still has yet to see a film at the festival.

"It's not as if you can just stumble into a movie with a beer," Dennen tells Spinner. "It's a little more highly respected and guarded. A little more formal."

As for his set, which he performed at the ASCAP Music Café, the crowd was also a little more formal than normal. "Here at Sundance, a lot of the music is under consideration for film, or any networking possibilities, so I think people take it a little more seriously in terms of listening and analyzing and comparing," Dennen says. "Whereas at an outdoor music festival, it's more about getting drunk, dancing and having a good time."
