Donovan Quinn
Since 2001, Donovan Quinn, the San Francisco based songwriter, has been busy. He has written and recorded under the moniker Verdue, collaborated with the Skygreen Leopards, and set out under his own name. Now the soft spoken and sublime singer has been gaining notoriety while fronting Donovan Quinn and The 13th Month, with a collection of close friends and colleagues. Combining the air of nostalgic folk and the fortitude of a wizened soul, Quinn transcends the usual clichés while offering up the slide guitars and easy drawls of a seasoned country boy. From his all night home recordings to his latest plaintive and wry release, October Lanterns, Quinn is a resolute and graceful embodiment of the sun parched California skies under which he was born.
