For nearly two decades Donavon Frankenreiter 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 bring Frankenreiter to town, where he entertains audiences with his unique blend of laid-back grooves, philosophical lyrics and soulful delivery. This year, Frankenreiter is releasing his first studio in 9 years, out September 20, 2024. The album, entitled Get Outta Your Mind, marks the 20 year anniversary of his self-titled debut album.
For nearly two decades, Austin’s The Band of Heathens have carved their own lane—pairing sharp songwriting with a sound that’s long outpaced the Americana curve. With their upcoming album, Country Sides, the band reflects on 20 years of building something entirely their own.
Formed in 2005, the Heathens broke through with their soulful blend of country and rock, earning memorable spots on Austin City Limits and growing a loyal fan base one show at a time. Though the lineup has evolved, founding songwriters Ed Jurdi and Gordy Quist remain the creative core, shaping the band’s voice and steady rise. A DIY ethos has always defined the Heathens—no label machine, no shortcuts, just an unwavering commitment to honest, organic music. That independence is woven throughout Country Sides, an 11-song collection pulled from dozens written during a period of looking inward and taking stock.
