His Style

Dennis Brunton, originally an Ottawa native has lived and entertained on both coasts of Canada and brings 30+ years of experience to his chosen craft . This singer/songwriter does both his own original music as well as a large repertoire of covers. Accompanying himself on guitar or keyboards, or playing as a duo with bass player Dave Desroches, he can perform a varied range of music from Classic Rock to Celtic, Traditional Scottish and Irish folk songs. His seasoned professionalism is shown in his stage presence and personality. His beautiful baritone voice displays itself very well when he performs his own songs, such as 'The Red Cliffs of the Island' and 'Tell My Lady', the title track from his latest CD or on classic rock songs like his reggae inspired version of 'House of the Rising Sun'.
