Donavon Frankenreiter has a built-in audience as a friend and collaborator of singer-songwriter Jack Johnson, with whom Frankenreiter shares a love of jammy, easy-going surf-pop. Click the link above to hear Frankenreiter perform live in concert from WXPN and World Café Live in Philadelphia.
A longtime professional surfer, Frankenreiter is oddly well-positioned to craft laid-back, knockabout jams. On his new third album, Pass It Around, the Californian does so with the aid of some notable collaborators, including Ben Harper (the title track), G. Love ("Sing a Song") and Grant-Lee Phillips ("Mansions on the Sand").
