A long-time friend of musician Jack Johnson, his debut self-titled album was released in 2004 on Johnson's Brushfire Records through Universal Music. It made the Australian ARIA Top-40 charts in April 2004. In live shows he has performed as the Donavon Frankenreiter Band.

Frankenreiter started playing in the group, Peanut Butter and Jam, at the age of 18. In 1996 he began to seriously pursue a musical career when he formed the band Sunchild. In Sunchild, Frankenreiter was the lead guitar player but did not sing. The band had a 70s rock sound similar in style to The Black Crowes. They released their first CD, Barefoot & Live, on Surfdog Records in 1997. Produced by Gary Hoey, the live album featured covers of The Allman Brothers Band, The Marshall Tucker Band, The Rolling Stones, and Van Morrison, as well as several originals. California Honey followed in 2000 on their own Sunchild Records. This studio album is now out-of-print. Sunchild disbanded in 2001 and Frankenreiter went on to pursue a solo career.

In 2002, Frankenreiter signed with Brushfire Records. His self-titled solo album, Donavon Frankenreiter, was recorded with co-producers Jack Johnson and Mario Caldato Jr. Johnson appears on the album, as do G. Love and Eels member Koool G. Murder. The album was released in April 2004 in Australia due to his high profile in that country from his support gigs for Jack Johnson and from Frankenreiter’s own surfing career. He toured Australia in April 2004, helping the album reach the top forty of the ARIA albums chart. Gary Jules was his support act on this tour. The album was released in the United States one month later, on 11 May 2004.

In 2006, Frankenreiter left Brushfire Records and signed with Lost Highway Records, home of such notable artists as Elvis Costello, Ryan Adams and Willie Nelson. His follow-up album, Move by Yourself, was released on June 6, 2006. Soon afterwards Donavon recorded a song called "Lovely Day" with Koool G., which was featured on the soundtracks to two films, Snakes on a Plane that same year and Georgia Rule in 2007.

In 2010 Donavon parted ways with Lost Highway Records and formed his own label, Liquid Tambourine Records. He subsequently recorded and released his fourth studio album of original material entitled "Glow", which was produced by Mark Weinberg.

In early 2012, Donavon cut ties with band mates Eric Brigmond, Craig Barnette, and Pete Winders, but maintained ties with original band member Matt Grundy.

Donavon Frankenreiter Lyrics


Don't look back, it won't do any good
Don't look ahead you'll just be misunderstood
Everything you need could be right in front of you
It doesn't take much to see what is true
They say we are going to die if we go on like this
Who do you believe? Every story has a twist
Take a look around, tell me what you see
People in the world just trying to be free
What about all those things you could have done but you don't?
They say things happen for a reason, you don't do them, they won't

I'm lookin' for life, love and laughter

Everything in between and what happens after
I'm lookin' for life, lookin' for love, lookin' for laughter

Things are gonna change, they never stay the same
That's why we're fighting a war but the people are to blame
You can only stand up for what you believe
Don't be blinded by the power of greed
What about all those things you could have done but you don't?
They say things happen for a reason, you don't do them, they won't

I'm lookin' for life, love and laughter
Everything in between and what happens after
I'm lookin' for life, love and laughter
Everything in between and what happens after
Lookin' for laughter

We got everything we need
All the money in the world, want to buy what we see
Dreams are worth more than gold
Some people hold on, some people let go
The stars all come out at night
The velvet sky, all so bright
I feel so close to you
Because I see what you see too

I'm lookin' for life, love and laughter
Everything in between and what happens after
Lookin' for life
I'm lookin' for life, love and laughter
Everything in between and what happens after
What happens after!
I'm lookin' for life, love and laughter
Everything in between and what happens after
What happens after?

Não olhe para trás, isso não vai trazer nada de bom
Não olhe à frente, você apenas será mal interpretado
Tudo que você precisa pode estar bem na sua frente
Não é preciso muito para ver o que é verdade
Eles dizem que vamos morrer se continuarmos assim
Em quem você acredita? Cada história tem uma reviravolta
Dê uma olhada ao redor e me diga o que você vê
As pessoas no mundo apenas tentando ser livres
E quanto a todas aquelas coisas você poderia ter feito mas você não fez?
Eles dizem que as coisas acontecem por uma razão, você não as faz, eles não

Eu estou procurando por vida, amor e risos

Tudo o que acontece no meio e depois
Eu estou procurando por vida, procurando por amor, procurando por risos

As coisas estão mudando, elas nunca permanecem as mesmas
É por isso que estamos lutando contra uma guerra, mas as pessoas são culpadas
Você só pode defender o que você acredita
Não fique cegado pelo poder da ganância
E quanto a todas essas coisas que você poderia ter feito, mas você não?
Eles dizem que as coisas acontecem por uma razão, você não as faz, eles não

Eu estou procurando por vida, amor e risos
Tudo o que acontece no meio e depois
Eu estou procurando por vida, amor e risos
e o que acontece depois
Procurando por risos

Nós temos tudo que precisamos
Todo o dinheiro do mundo, nós queremos comprar o que vemos
Sonhos valem mais que ouro
Algumas pessoas aguentam, algumas pessoas deixam pra lá
Todas as estrelas aparecem à noite
O céu de veludo, tudo tão brilhante
Eu me sinto tão perto de você
Porque eu vejo o que você também vê

Eu estou procurando por vida, amor e risos
Tudo o que acontece no meio e depois
Eu estou procurando por vida
Eu estou procurando por vida, amor e risos
Tudo o que acontece no meio e depois
O que acontece depois!
Eu estou procurando por vida, amor e risos
Tudo o que acontece no meio e depois
O que acontece depois?

Composição: Donavon Frankenreiter / Squeak E. Clean
