Donnie’s new album entitled ‘Beautiful Strange’ is a scrapbook of memories in tune that will be fun to play live. As I had done with my first solo album ‘Shift’, I wrote, recorded and produced ‘Beautiful Strange’ in New York City when COVID19 pandemic hit and I had to quarantine for months. These songs were inspired by people who have profoundly influenced my life. This album is dedicated to you and my dad Harry 'Skip' Kehr with gratitude & love for enlightening my soul and touching my heart.
