Donavon Frankenreiter’s music always invites a loving vibe into the room. His freewheeling music gravitates toward slack key guitar, lap steel, and ukulele to create a tropical island feel. The laid-back and sandy songwriter has a tendency to whisk you away to the laid-back groove of the Hawaiian islands with his smokey vocals and tender delivery.

Under the right conditions, surfing and music can make the perfect couple. Jack Johnson, Tom Curren and Donavon Frankenreiter are among a long list of multitalented individuals that have forged stellar careers in both fields, handling themselves on the stage as seemingly effortlessly as they do on the waves.

Donavon's latest album 'The Heart' marks his second decade as a solo artist, having initially embarked on his serious musical journey as guitarist for the 70s rock-inspired band, Sunchild. 'The Heart' not only reflects the growth of his two creative careers, but is emblematic of his personal growth and maturity in the years since his self-titled solo debut.
