| | The Orchard - Appleseed News & Reviews |
 | | Eleven new Donovan compositions (plus a version of the traditional “Cuckoo”) were recorded by multiple Grammy-winning producer John Chelew (Blind Boys of Alabama, Richard Thompson, John Hiatt) “in the spirit of the Bohemian café happenings” that date back to the mid-19th Century, as Donovan writes in his liner notes. |
 | | Donovan’s goal on “Beat Café” was to “view ‘modern life’ as seen from ‘Bohemia’,” to capture the musical and intellectual freedom of a hip, underground hangout. |
 | | Donovan's fans, musicians, writers, poets, artists and students are welcome at these unique shows, at which drinks and food will be available, but both venues have limited seating capacity, so book early to make sure you are part of one of these unique occasions. |
