Donavon Frankenreiter

Lately I have been listening to Donavon Frankenreiter and I really like his groove. He has this cool positive vibe on most of all his songs. If you like Jack Johnson you will definitely dig on Donavon Frankenreiter. Donavon songs have the feel of beach twisting through them. When I listen to the songs, Bob Marley comes to mind and not because of reggae but more for the comfortable relaxed feeling that comes to me. The song I chose for the video is Life, Love, and Laughter

Music Mondays: My New Favorite Duo...Kings of Convenience

Kings of Convenience sound remind me of Belle & Sebastian and Simon and Garfunkel. They have this very soft mellow overtone to most their music. The vision I get is like a river slowly meandering down the foothills. There is no obstacles just an opportunity to change a directions and a different outcome is possible. The positivity of their sound is so pleasing to the ears.

Barefoot Truth

Barefoot Truth reminds me a little bit of Dispatch and Jason Mraz. These guys got groove and melody down and of course there is a fair amount of hand percussion. I always tend to gravitate to band that is very rhythmic in nature. The Drummer, Will Evans, is singer and so so you can tell a lot of the songs kind of start with the rhythm of the drums. Barefoot Truth has 10 - 15 tracks you can download for free here. If you like these guys leave me a comment and let me know.

Music Mondays Guster

Guster is defined by there awesome harmonies and one of the most amazing had percussionist I have seen Brian Rosenworcel. I think the video gives you some hints at his amazing talent. He reminds me of an octopus they way his arms are twist and turn finding the right drum to hit. Guster is very Beatle-isk in thier sound. All the members of the band sing except, Brian Rosenworcel, the drummer. Adam Gardner, Ryan Miller, Brian Rosenworcel are the original founding members and Joe Pisapia joined in 2003. Brian. Guster is great live I saw them at the Berkley Theater a few years ago. I rank it the top 15 live shows I have seen. In fact you can download a show from 2000 here. Some similar bands are Dispatch, Ben Folds Five and Matt Costa.
