Thom Donovan is a singer, songwriter, and guitarist whose music blends modern arrangements with experimental sound. While many artists spend their time looking back, Donovan prefers facing forward—pushing old sounds into the future.
Currently residing in Nashville, Tennessee, Donovan writes for JMHB and Kobalt Music, his songs frequently appearing in popular television shows such as The Good Wife on CBS and Body of Proof on ABC. He has a recurring role in the ABC musical drama series, Nashville, as a musician.
Donovan began his career as a session musician, recording and touring worldwide with a variety of artists. Unfulfilled by his work performing other artist’s compositions, he formed his own band, Lapush. The band’s debut album, Someplace Closer To Here (456/Fontana), was released in 2005. The band’s second album, Modern Blues, was released in 2007 through its own imprint. Lapush made their network television debut on Last Call with Carson Daly on NBC in 2005.
After earning great success through his band, Donovan opted for reinvention, and embarked on a solo career. He released his debut album, Cast A Light in 2010, followed by Mercury Maybe in 2012, and his most recent, Canon in June 2014. Donovan has performed across the United States as well as cities around the world. Some classic venues he’s performed at include; CBGB (New York), Viper Room (Hollywood), Gorge Amphitheatre (Washington), The Garage (London), and The Cavern Club (Liverpool).
Donovan’s exploratory approach to songwriting upholds his hybrid philosophy of futuristic and classical musical experimentation. A prime example is Donovan’s most recent single, “Shipwreck” — a collaboration with Wyclef Jean which features guest vocalist, Ruby Amanfu. The song, inspired by Arthur Brooke’s poem, The Tragicall History of Romeus and Juliet (1562), is a twisting blend of distorted classical guitars and drum machines. The album was self-produced and recorded in Donovan’s East Nashville home studio, mixed by Vance Powell (Jack White, The White Stripes), and mastered by Richard Dodd (George Harrison, Tom Petty).
