10.24.09 The Full Band at Godfrey Daniels
Jeff and Lori are very excited to be bringing back the full Donovan Roberts band to Godfrey Daniels on Saturday, October 24th. Not only are all the usual suspects on board, but the phenomenal Mikey Jr will be joining us as well, opening the show and adding his talents to the band set. Don't miss it!

08.14.09 The Research and Rehersals Begin
A pet project is in the works. While Jeff is waiting scant moments to come up with new original tunes for the duo, we decided to take the advice of a lovely fan at a recent show and do a tribute CD of songs by the incomparable Peggy Lee. SUCH fun digging up rare treasures and true classic. Watch for more!

Blues Revue Review
Blues Revue magazine gave Donovan Roberts CD "Are You Alone" high praise in their January/February '09 issue. Read the full text below.

 
     
 
 
Are You Alone (Shelloy Sounds) crackles with energy even on such oft-recorded songs as “Big Road Blues,” displays inventiveness in a country blues arrangement of Percy Mayfield’s “River’s Invitation,” and enriches the canon with Jeff Roberts’ lovely, jazzy “Wonderin’ About You.” Roberts’ guitar is augmented by occasional piano, harmonica, and mandolin, and Lori Donovan's smooth, sultry vocals are simply perfect. Bold moves like the bossa nova “What You Need From Me” and a reworking of Tom Petty’s “You Got Lucky” pay off neatly without interrupting the mood. -- Tom Hyslop, Blues Revue magazine
