In the fall of 2007, Brent Allen released his 2nd album, “There’s A Lot of Folks Like Me” to a worldwide audience earning rave reviews from fans and critics alike.

It really is a dream come true to have them playing my songs” Brent says. “But after I first saw Dale (Watson) perform live, I knew that I wanted to capture that energy for my shows, and had my work cut out for me to get it.”
