Wesley’s Place in La Grange Presents Dennis Warner Nov 17

Internationally touring singer-songwriter Dennis Warner returns to Illinois with his first appearance at Wesley’s Place, 100 W Cossitt, La Grange, IL Friday November 17 at 7pm.

Dennis's Musical journey has brought him to all 50 states and beyond, earning him global recognition and a reputation for being an outstanding entertainer in the singer-songwriter
genre. In 2023, Dennis completed a three week concert tour through South Africa, including a performance at the historic significant Constitution Hill in Johannesburg, the site of a former prison that once held Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, Joe Slovo, Winnie Mandela and other
freedom seekers during the Anti-Apartheid Movement (AAM).

In August, Dennis was invited to Chicago to perform for the Parliament of the World’s Religions, where over 7800 people from 90+ difference countries, representing over 230 unique faiths and spiritual practices, gathered looking for ways to coexist in our diverse world. Walking offstage afterward, he was met by Rev. Jesse Jackson, who was all smiles, having enjoyed the performance from backstage at McCormick Place.

Perhaps his best work, Warner’s eleventh album, Pilot Me, Debuted on the FOLK DJ Radio chart at #8 for the month of August 2020. Remarkably,all thirteen songs received airplay. Produced by Lakeland Public Broadcasting , in 2020 Dennis was featured in concert on the PBS syndicated TV show Backroads. In 2018 Warner 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.”

His Beads on One String book, now in its ninth printing, celebrates our connectedness with each other and features a popular positive behavior curriculum for elementary schools.

Warner is a three-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.

Along with his original music, Warner is widely admired for his interpretations of songs written by others.. such as his viral YouTube video, I’m My Own Grandpa, with over 864,000 hits.

Warner is an outstanding entertainer. Serious topics and ballads are cleverly blended with up-tempo songs, a little audience participation and engaging humorous stories.

Dennis is excited to return to Illinois. “I love playing in this area. Acoustic music is appreciated
and encouraged, with several radio stations having dedicated programs to the singer-songwriter genre. It’s a bit busier here than in my home town of rural central Minnesota, where we have a DQ and a restaurant that sells platter sized caramel rolls. What more could you ask for?”
