Donavon Frankenreiter, everyone’s favorite surfer/pop-folkie, makes his much-anticipated return to the courtyard. His most recent appearance, last summer, was a major success, with the easygoing singer/songwriter bringing the good vibes throughout. (cont.)
When Donavon was 10 years old, he got his first surfboard. Six years later, he picked up his first guitar. It was the beginning of a wildly creative journey: His improvisational twin obsessions have carried him around the globe and into his fans’ hearts. The 37-year-old singer/songwriter/pro surfer admits he still thrives on simply taking the plunge. “We don’t have a set show, if we did, I would go crazy,” he says. “You never know what’s going to happen. I love that element of surprise with music and surfing — you never catch the same wave twice.”
