Just saw him in Taos, NM last week and he sounded great. I saw him live about 10 years ago in Washington, DC and he is getting better year by year. It was also special seeing his son playing with him now. I look forward to more music Donavon. Thanks for sharing your talents!
Remember hearing this guy on a cd in a cafe in Newquay about 20 years ago. Asked for the CD for my 11th birthday a couple of months later - think it was the first CD I ever owned!
When I lived in Laguna Beach about 17 yrs ago, I used to hang out with Mike Myers (was my drummer at the time too) and he introduced me to Donovan Frankenreiter...I watched him surf on a blow-up surfboard...the life guard told him he couldn't surf in the are with skaggs...so what did Donovan do? He used my hack saw to cut them off and Mike and I watched him NAIL the surf, on a BLOW-UP surfboard, with NO SKAGGS! Was awesome....by the way this song is great. Can't believe we never got a chance to jam dude...
Heck yes! Awesome tunes. Sounds like you took the internal vibe of surfing big waves as you once did and have turned that, into something special. NICE WORK!
These guys are absolutely amazing!!! My son and I have gone to see Donavan everytime he comes to Seattle Wa usually in a little bar called the crocodile tavern, this year we literally saw him in late February just before the covid shit started and we got right yo front and as always we had a great time!!! Matt Grundy is such an amazing talent as well!!! These guys are so underrated and I hope they come back to the Pacific Northwest each and every year as they usually do, once all this Corona bullshit is over!!! Thank you for all the fun shows and memories with my son Donovan and Matt!!! You guys are amazing!!!
From a guy from Canada who saw his 20+ year career in Tourism disappear in a nano second that also loves this sound but has seen many suffer from long-term Covid effects.. this pandemic is no joke and public protocols aren't "bullshit". They've helped saved millions of lives globally.. better to err in caution than cause needless suffering & death. No? Would like to think a dude who digs this peaceful vibe would get that. 😏😉😎 Peace out brutha, stay safe, be well.. can't wait for our borders to open up so we both can enjoy two of the most spectacular places on the continent.. namely B.C. & WA.
Do some research friend. It's all bullshit, and I'm not being insensitive about anything. Start with CSTE position statement 2020, and then you'll be on the right path to enlightenment. Peace and love to you brother, and may you find truth.
Super rad yet again... those guitars it seems are the same ones in the movie La Bamba where Lou Phillip Diamonds played at the beginning where he plays as Richie Valens. I kept forgetting the brand ...some where between Silverstone or Kay but I could be wrong, read it on his Instagram could be custom made or restored guitars, they sound awesome though! Love it! Nice mojo guys 🤙
one is a harmony stratotone from the 50s, not sure which year, need to see it without the arm blocking the pickups lol (in fact they might both be harmony makes).
I am a surfer I love his music I play it at work at home. Anywhere is so relaxing.

Why doesn't this have more views? :O What a TREASURE!
Just discovered.....beautiful music. Traveling as soon as he hits the states.
People can't realize how good is Donavon's voice, even alive!
Sounds like JJ Cale

Donnie is the BEST! One of few artist that is not overly produced in studio, seeing him live a dozen times is always a special treat, he delivers
It's always good to hear you Donovan

Groovy! Just discovered him...and am enjoying every single song.
Amazing solo in the end
Donovan’s voice has broken in and matured nicely... great voice as always ... love his tonality ❤️ Matt you rock man!!
Donavon is awesome
Far fucking out!! That was fantastic!
Found you on Spotify. . . . I happened to be looking for cover songs, and heard your version of Fortunate Son, and absolutely loved it. ❣
Amazing music quality!!! Tanks Donavon :D
Wish this were available on vinyl. Incredible..
My God, this is Groovey Gravey for the Soul...ty
Love the feeling! Matt is great

Saw Donavan in concert last night, I was trying to figure out what guitars he and Matt were playing. Thanks for the info.
