Being a professional surfer, playing in the band, Sunchild and being a long-time friend of Jack Johnson just wasn’t for Donovan Frankenreiter as he embarked on a solo career in 2004.
Born on December 10th 1972, Frankenreiter, was looking for a new direction for his music in the early 2000s, he left the band Sunchild, which was his own project that he founded himself and signed with Brushfire Records and released his eponymous solo album, which was recorded with co-producers, Jack Johnson and Mario Caldato Jr. Johnson features on the album as does G.Love. His first album was released in 2004 in Australia and reached the top forty of the ARIA albums chart. It was a month later that the album was released in the US on May 11th 2004.
For a change of pace, Frankenreiter left Brushfire Records and signed with Lost Highway Records, which is the refuge of Ryan Adams and Willie Nelson. Under this label’s direction, he released “Move by Yourself” on June 6th 2006. His song “Lovely Day” earned a spot on the soundtrack of Snakes on a Plane and Georgia Rule. He also performed a set at the prestigious Abbey road Studios in London, UK, which was later released in early 2006. On the same label he released “Pass It Around” on August 19th 2008, which was followed a couple of years later by the album “Glow” which was released on October 5th 2010, but this time, under his own label, Liquid Tambourine Records. The album’s title track, “Glow” was written by Matt Nathanson.
