Former San Francisco private detective Donovan Plant spent nearly two decades chasing leads and tailing cheaters before returning to his musical roots. Donovan Plant blends rock, country and pop with lyrics inspired by the city.

Citing influences such as David Bowie, The Cars, and Jackson Brown, Donovan’s keen ear for hooks and melody is on full display with NIGHT FEEL GOOD, recorded inside the world-famous Hyde Street Studios at Dreamrack Studios by producer and engineer Trent Berry. 

Donovan formed DONOVAN PLANT & THE LEAFS in 2018, a group that includes drummer Lliam Hart (Information Society/Wire Train), bassist Mike Henry (Minus One) and lead guitarist Michael Ruy (Small Change Romeos). Lliam, Mike, and Michael have been playing live and recording together for years. When Lliam joined with Donovan for some live shows about ten years ago, he quickly recognized Donovan’s talent for song writing and quietly set about a plan to incorporate his friend Mike into the band, a plan which worked brilliantly. In a stroke of mis-spelling genius they then named this creation THE LEAFS. 

 Donovan has released three solo EP’s, Be With You (Niteflite Music - Germany) with producer Fabian Gorg in 2011, which included a video produced by Ricky Kelley, City Lights (Angel Blossom Records) with producer Scott Mickelson in 2018 and Night Feel Good (Angel Blossom Records) with producer Trent Berry at the historic Hyde Street Studios (Dreamrack Studios). He also had the honor of playing inside San Quentin State Prison as part of its annual Day of Peacecelebrations with the non-profit organization Bread & Roses Presents for two consecutive years in 2016 and 2017.
