Search - Donavon Frankenreiter :: Revisited

Aptly titled, Donavon Frankenreiter's Revisited is not just a re-recording of his 2004 self-titled album; it's a complete reinterpretation... with a Hawaiian twist. Kauai Resident and professional surfer, Donavon Frankenreiter, lives an incredible life for which he is extremely grateful. His first recording was made with the aid of his long time friend Jack Johnson and spawned the AAA radio hit 'Free'. Teaming up with longtime band mate Matt Grundy (Bass/BGVs), and local musicians Kirk Smart (Guitars), and David Leach (Percussion), Donavon set out to re-record his debut album (originally released on Brushfire Records) using traditional Hawaiian instruments including the ukulele, lap steel guitar, and a Mauna Loa slack key tuned guitar. The result is a fresh new take on the original that allows Donavon's envied lifestyle to ooze sweetly through the speakers, giving a completely new sound to favorites like 'It Don't Matter' and 'Free'.
