EspañolDAN DONOVAN (GUITARIST)
''For other people with this name, see Dan Donovan.''
'Dan Donovan' is a British singer, songwriter, and guitar player. Born in 1960 to a Welsh preacher, he produces music which uses metaphor extensively to draw on spiritual themes.[1]
His music career began with a band called Back to Jordan which only recorded one EP. Then he founded the band 'Tribe of Dan', described on the King Kool website as "cult greb goth outfit" and elsewhere as "swamp rock". The band split after recording only one studio album, and their US label folded shortly after their first release. Following this event he released albums independently.
Recently he has been involved with several small bands. He is currently with an outfit called "King Kool", described as baseless blues - the band features Donovan and drummer Matt Middleton, but no bassist.
