In 2020, Dennis released his 11th album, Pilot Me, which debuted on the Folk DJ radio charts at #8 in August. He in the top 10 for Artist of the Month. Earlier in 2020, Dennis was featured on the popular PBS television show Backroads. Produced by Lakeland Public Broadcasting, the sold-out concert celebrated his original music and was syndicated throughout the PBS network. Warner is a two-time McKnight Foundation Artist winner and three-time finalist for the prestigious Kerrville Folkfest songwriting awards, co-founded by Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary. His book, Beads on One String (in its 8th printing), celebrates our "connectedness" and features a bully prevention curriculum for elementary schools currently being used throughout the US as well as internationally. Dennis' concerts blend serious, thought-provoking songs with lighter, up-tempo material. Known for being an entertainer, Warner brings his audience into the performance with laughter and even a couple sing-alongs! Here's a few reviews: "Great songs, contagious energy and an engaging personality make Dennis Warner an outstanding entertainer. Add his smooth vocals and solid guitar work and you've got a fantastic show! Our audience didn't want him to leave!" Dave Humphreys, Two Way Street Coffeehouse - Downers Grove, IL "Dennis is a highly talented, inspiring, engaging professional. The 'whole package': a compelling guitarist, singer and songwriter". Gloria Holloway - South Tampa House Concerts Dennis has a personality that creates a warm incredibly comfortable atmosphere. Even listeners with no acquired taste for guitar have no problem enjoying the performance." Danny Kay McIntrye, Assistant Multi-Cultural Center Manager - The University of the South (TN)
