Donny Brewer is just a Texas boy living on the road. He’s not Jimmy Buffett, Bob Marley, or even Kenny Chesney, nor does he want to be. Those famous guys make wonderful music, but the difference is, they probably won’t have a drink with you or throw you into to their lyrics at your friend’s backyard show. He is also a talented illustrator who has teamed up with children’s book author, Kristin McFadden to create some incredibly fun and unique children’s books. Her latest book, The Three Sea Turtles Tuff is An exciting retelling of the the classic fairy tale, The Three Billy Goats Gruff, but with a tropical beach twist! While Donny may win awards and tour the world, he’s just a super fan like you. He may love Trop Rock and Drinking Songs, but he loves any kind of music, as long as he can share it with his friends, his family, . . . his zimzalas . . . all over the world, in tropical places and big ol’ stages, with a cold skinny beer or a rum and somethin’, because a songwriter’s life is like a fishbowl margarita – ya need someone to share it with.
