Donavon Frankenreiter made an instant connection with the band Goodnight, Texas recently while out on the road, comparing them to a modern day version of The Band. He decided not only to bring them out as support for this tour, but also to have Goodnight, Texas play as his backing band alongside his longtime guitarist Matt Grundy. Incorporating their musicianship with a fresh take on Donavon’s extensive catalog, the evening will feature mandolin guitar, banjo, pedal steel, bass, drums, and more!
For nearly four decades Donavon has been traveling the globe, first as a professional surfer and now as a musician. Born in Southern California, Donavon spent most of his youth chasing waves, turning pro at the age of 16. These days instead of surf competitions, it’s concert halls that brings Frankenreiter to town, where he entertains audiences with his unique blend of laid-back grooves, philosophical lyrics and soulful delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to bring chairs or blankets?
Yes, chairs are not provided. We have removed the request for low chairs; however, we ask concert attendees to be kind to others and use standard lawn chairs. We also recommend mosquito repellent and flashlights.
Can I bring in food and beverages?
The Blue Palmetto Café is open with full menu including beer and wine. Attendees can also use our convenient pre-order option and food and beverage will be ready upon arrival. We do allow outside food and beverage for attendees with dietary restrictions or concerns.
Why are you not allowing attendees to bring in food or beverages?
As a non-profit organization, we depend heavily upon the revenues collected at our café, and for outdoor concerts to be sustainable, we must generate incremental revenue. We are grateful for our visitors’ financial support, and we look forward to growing our schedule.
