Donavon Frankenreiter New Album and Tour Coming

The album was produced alongside Frankenreiter's longtime friend and band member Matt Grundy as well as Adam Ableman from Southern California.

The follow-up to 2010's Glow, Start Livin' is a nine-track selection of folk-infused songs that sweetly reflect the simplicity of their recording. With its smooth showcasing of Frankenreiter's rich, honey-thick vocals and masterful guitar work, Start Livin' bears all the intimacy of an impromptu back-porch performance and the tenderness of a treasured love letter.

Elsewhere on Start Livin', Frankenreiter hones in on more heavy-handed matters. Undoubtedly the album's most somber moment, "A.I." pays tearful tribute to Frankenreiter's friend Andy Irons (a professional surfer who passed away in November 2010). Frankenreiter created a video for the track, which can be viewed on his website: www.donavonf.com

"To me the most beautiful thing about this record is it really reflects who I am today," says Frankenreiter. "Start Livin' means stop worrying about where you've been, where you're going�just start embracing what you have around you. Start loving what you have right now."

In support of the album, Frankenreiter will embark on a June headlining summer tour kicking off June 1st at the Compound Grill in Phoenix, AZ. Fans who purchase tickets to the show will receive a free physical copy of the album. Complete tour itinerary is listed below.
