They are wearing a black tracksuit jacket with prominent white stripes down the sleeves, dark sunglasses, and a dark fedora-style hat. They are actively playing a black electric guitar with gold hardware while simultaneously utilizing a silver harmonica secured around their neck by a metal holder. Their head is tilted slightly upward toward a microphone as they perform. The background is a dark, shadowy stage environment punctuated by two bright, multi-bulb blue stage lights. — G.

Just two months after playing Ybor City, surfer-songwriter Donavon Frankenreiter is back in the Bay area, this time supporting folky Philadelphia bluesman G. Love.

The 53-year-old songwriter born Garrett Dutton is having a rough go, too. Despite an enviable career that goes back to 1994, G. Love recently detailed how he lost $424,000 in bitcoin after downloading a fake app from Apple’s App Store.

“This is either pathetic or funny and I feel both ways even say anything,” he wrote on social media, before giving out his BTC address for anyone that wanted to help and turning to optimism. “A lot of people lost a lot more than me. Give thanks for my health, family and friends and my music.”

The music includes last year’s Ode To R.L., his band Special Sauce’s first hip-hop album, and a sophomore outing Lemonade released on Jack Johnson’s Brushfire Records 20 years ago.

Tickets to see G. Love and Donavon Frankenreiter’s Rolling Together Revue at Jannus Live in St. Petersburg on Friday, June 5 are still available and start at $46.28.
