On Songwriting
“Bob Story and Dennis Wanebo are long-time Boulder songwriters who have collaborated extensively in the past 20+ years, mostly under the recording and performing persona, Martian Acres.”
“During this period they wrote and produced scores of songs in virtually every conceivable genre . . . and they have garnered major recognition along the way. Among other things, they received two John Lennon International Songwriting Awards and they also won a nationwide songwriting competition. Their songs have landed on radio playlists literally around the world. One of their blues songs was the talk of the town in Paris, France in 2008; and it wouldn’t be surprising to hear one of their country tunes today if you turned on the radio while driving through Paris, Texas.
“Beyond the confines of Martian Acres, Bob and Dennis have also written large numbers of songs individually and with other writer/performers. Lisa Bell a Boulder singer songwriter regularly performs Bob and Dennis's "Middle of the Night" and "Water Under the Bridge" in her shows, two songs that used Grace Wanebo on the original recordings.
Check out the Acres’ feature on the RARWRITER entertainment/music site from Los Angeles.
In addition to his work with Martian Acres, Dennis Wanebo recently completed a solo album, Running On Gravity (produced, by the way by Bob Story), which was well-received critically. See also The Scene Magazine Review:
