PICKUP TRUCK CAFÉ HITS TOP TWENTY IN TEXAS

When asked to comment on his chart success with Pickup Truck Café, Brenn smiled, “My thanks go out to all my friends at Texas radio and my fans in Texas, too, for their support of this song. I’m delighted that my brand of music from the modern mountain west is finding favor in the Lone Star State. I’ve visited more than a few pickup truck cafes in my travels, and I hope this song will continue to connect with people who love a good shot of music with their coffee.”

PICKUP TRUCK CAFE: THE NEW SINGLE FOR TEXAS RADIO
Brenn starts 2005 off right with a new single for radio airplay in Texas and adjoining states, Pickup Truck Café.
The second single from ENDANGERED, Pickup Truck Café follows the 2004 success of Brenn's Texas debut, Buckaroo Tattoo, which spent 8 weeks inside the Top Twenty on the Best of Texas Music chart, and was listed as the #32 most-played song of the year on that same chart.
Pickup Truck Café celebrates an American institution. As Brenn says, "Every small town has one. If you really want to know what's happening in your community, meet at the Pickup Truck Café at about seven in the morning."
Brenn's fans in Texas and the adjoining states are encouraged to contact their local radio stations to request Pickup Truck Café.
