As one of Southern California’s most awe-thumb venues, The Slidebar Rock ‘n Roll Cafe is no stranger to hosting stellar shows.
On January 19th, the stage was set as Sanuk funksolebrothers, Donavon Frankenreiter and Seth Pettersen, geared up and grooved out for a special Love Hope Strength benefit show.
Hundreds of harmony-hungry happyheads (Say that 5 times fast…) packed the halls to witness an intimate show with two incredible musicians. Before the place knew it, the lights dimmed and the volume knobs cranked.
Here are a few photos from the event taken by Sanuk News lead anchor, Joey Maiocco.
This place knows how to jam.
Things were elbow to elbow and wall to wall as Seth Pettersen took to the stage.
This happy (hairy) couple was all smiles as “Baby Buddah” came seeping from the Seth’s speakers.
Seth set the tone for the night by strumming his way into the crowd’s ears and hearts.
Seth Pettersen & the Undertow.
Rosepark Mgt’s Tim Bramlette enticing the crowd with limited edition, handdrawn event posters. All proceeds for the event went directly to the Love Hope Strength Foundation.

Diamond Donny and bandmate Matt Grundy played a mix new songs and old favorites. (Note the perfect bro ‘stache application in the background…)
To close the show, Donavon invited Seth back out on stage to cover “The Weight” by The Band- a surefire crowd pleaser.
“…and put it all on me!”
Special thanks to the Slidebar Crew, Tim, Love Hope Strength and everyone that came out to enjoy the night!

Our mustachioed man of music (and all things groovy), Donavon Frankenreiter, is making the rounds like a pitcher of beer at the local pub. While your were spoonin’ a big bowl o’ Cheerios on Saturday, Diamond Donny swung by CBS to perform on The Early Show. Bottom’s up:
Ever wonder what it would be like to be Donavon Frankenreiter?
Well, right now, if you were our mustachioed muchacho, you’d be on tour…
Roadtrippin’ on a big ol’ bus (with trailer in tow) movin’ around the country on a musical mission to spread good times.
You’d be hittin’ a different stage every night and doin’ what puts a smile on your face.
Oh yeah, AND you’d be stoked. Really stoked. Just like Donny.
