The album was produced alongside Frankenreiter's longtime friend and band member Matt Grundy as well as Adam Ableman from Southern California.

The follow-up to 2010's Glow, Start Livin' is a nine-track selection of folk-infused songs that sweetly reflect the simplicity of their recording. With its smooth showcasing of Frankenreiter's rich, honey-thick vocals and masterful guitar work, Start Livin' bears all the intimacy of an impromptu back-porch performance and the tenderness of a treasured love letter.

Elsewhere on Start Livin', Frankenreiter hones in on more heavy-handed matters. Undoubtedly the album's most somber moment, "A.I." pays tearful tribute to Frankenreiter's friend Andy Irons (a professional surfer who passed away in November 2010). Frankenreiter created a video for the track, which can be viewed on his website: www.donavonf.com

"To me the most beautiful thing about this record is it really reflects who I am today," says Frankenreiter. "Start Livin' means stop worrying about where you've been, where you're going—just start embracing what you have around you. Start loving what you have right now."

In support of the album, Frankenreiter will embark on a June headlining summer tour kicking off June 1st at the Compound Grill in Phoenix, AZ. Fans who purchase tickets to the show will receive a free physical copy of the album. Complete tour itinerary is listed below.
