Tons of shaggy kids and embarrassing old people are trucking their smelly hair and vans out to Hampton Coliseum in Virginia to hock veggie burritos and huff patchouli at the Phish reunion this weekend. Are you going? If mellow Cali crooner Brett Dennen weren't all tied up touring the Midwest with Little Ones, he'd probably be all over it. His hippieness -- a sweet-smiling babyface with a pile of hair like a Conan Halloween wig -- has done duets with such Bonnaroo regulars and jam-circuit giants as Jack Johnson, Femi Kuti, Lucinda Williams and even Mike Gordon of Phish. How, Brett Dennen? HOW?!

Well, I guess because he's really good. Back in '04, he dropped a groovy little sparkler called "Desert Sunrise," and that basically took over the Los Angeles airwaves. Since then he's released three albums, none of which has made him a millionaire, but all of which have won him a very dedicated following. Give his aforementioned Femi Kuti duet, "Make You Crazy" a whirl below, and join the cult of Brett! Mandy Moore did. (OMG. Shoes.)
