Since he released his first album a decade ago, award-winning singer-songwriter Donovan Woods’ blend of folk, country and pop has resonated with audiences all over the world.

Throughout his distinguished career, Donovan Woods has built a devoted following who cling to the acclaimed songwriter’s every word. Never one to mince words, Woods is one of music’s most vulnerable storytellers and on his forthcoming studio album, Donovan takes that a step further. Honest and unflinching, on Things Were Never Good If They’re Not Good Now, his upcoming seventh studio album, Woods takes a long look inside and isn’t necessarily thrilled with what he sees. For an artist who isn’t afraid to bear his soul, this is as emotionally gritty as he has ever been.

While amassing a catalogue of rousing and acclaimed music of his own, he has worked with some of the top songwriters to craft cuts for performers ranging from Tim McGraw, Ben Platt, Ashley Cooke, Barenaked Ladies, Phillip Phillips and Charles Kelley of Lady A.
