John Dennis

John Dennis is a Nashville, TN–based singer-songwriter currently working on his fourth studio album with Rainfeather Records. He’s known for intimate, clear-hearted songs that harken back to folk music’s greats while establishing him as a unique and compassionate voice all his own. His three records have earned glowing attention from outlets like No Depression, Alternate Root, and American Songwriter, and unreleased songs have already garnered a fifth-place finish in the 2025 Corpus Christi Songwriters Contest and a finalist spot in the 2024 Kerrville New Folk Competition.

 

When not on the road, Dennis is a constant, well-regarded presence in the East Nashville Americana scene—though if he’s being honest, he thinks most of that is just because he’s a nice guy who tries to be supportive of everyone.

 

At the heart of his work is a deep human connection. Never shying away from scars of loss or addiction, Dennis creates music that invites listeners to see themselves more compassionately and to find a sense of hope forged through lived experience. For an artist so firmly grounded in honesty and emotional depth, the sky seems to be the limit. He’s still working on the wings though.
