WCLZ welcomes Donavon Frankenreiter 7/27

Donavon’s first record, 2004’s Donavon Frankenreiter was made with the aid of his long time friend Jack Johnson, and spawned the AAA radio hit “Free”.  In 2006, Donavon signed with Lost Highway and began to find his own musical voice with the appropriately titled Move By Yourself.  OnPass It Around, Donavon collaborates and injects new sounds in ways he had not attempted prior. “On Pass It Around, I definitely had a lot of ideas and it was fun putting trust in other people.”

 

One of those people was producer Joe Chiccarelli, who aside from being a multiple Grammy Award-winner, has worked with everyone from Frank Zappa to The Raconteurs to My Morning Jacket. Donavon also enlisted some of his dearest musician friends including, Ben Harper on the title track, and Philadelphia’s most famous surfer G. Love, who adds harmonica on “Sing a Song.”
