Nationally touring singer-songwriter Dennis Warner returns to the Two Way Street Coffee House,
1047 Curtiss Street in Downers Grove, IL on Friday November 19th at 8pm. Doors Open at 7:30. Admission is a suggested $10 donation.

Towards the beginning of the Pandemic, Dennis released his 11th album, Pilot Me,
which debuted on the FOLK DJ radio charts at #8 in August. Dennis was among the
top 10 for Artist of the Month.

His breakthrough album Seeds was named one of the best
CD’s of 2012 in folk music, based on radio play around the world. Folk
DJ
also named him one of the top artists in folk music that year. Midnight Special host Rich Warren designated Seeds as his “CD Pick of the Week” on his nationally syndicated show.

2018 was a big year for Dennis. Early that year, he was invited to the RoundGlass Music Awards in New York City celebrating “Enlightened musicians from around the globe who create music to make the world a better place.” A few months later, Dennis was honored to perform for the Parliament of the World’s Religions in Toronto, where 7,500 attendees representing
230 different faiths from around the planet gathered finding ways to coexist in our diverse world.

Warner is a two-time McKnight Foundation Artist Award winner and three-time finalist for the prestigious Kerrville Folkfest songwriting awards, co-founded by Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary.

His Beads on One String book, now in its Seventh Printing, celebrates our “connectedness” and features a bully prevention curriculum for elementary schools currently being used throughout the U.S. and internationally as well.

His concerts blend serious, thought provoking songs with lighter, up-tempo material. Warner is noted for being an entertainer, bringing the audience into the performance with laughter and even a couple of sing-alongs.

Dennis is excited to return to Two Way Street, “The intimacy of the Two Way Street makes it a favorite place to perform. It’s well respected in the music community for hosting an audience that embraces acoustic, lyric driven music. This will be a fun evening!"
