About Me

Lori Donovan is one half of the acoustic blues duo, | DONOVAN ROBERTS | and one-third of the blues trio, | THE GIRLS |.
A self-professed "renaissance woman" Lori spends most of her time tapping her creative muse. When she's not performing nightly with one of the aforementioned groups, she's hard at work at her own business - the fourth leaf agency - a talent management, publicity and design firm, | THE FOURTH LEAF AGENCY | representing amazing acts like the Sarah Ayers Band, the Matt Zeiner Band and Orange Sky (check them all out in our friends below). She also writes and edits for several regional magazines and is a contributing writer for Blues Revue magazine.
The 2% of her time when she's not writing, creating, singing or band managing - Lori is addicted to channel surfing (Lost, Heroes, CSI: Miami, Grey's Anatomy and just about every reality show there is). She secretly hopes to one day be a contestant on THE AMAZING RACE.
Jeff Roberts, her duo partner and partner in life, reminds her that if they were to be on AMAZING RACE it would likely be the end of their AMAZING relationship. Too much of a good thing = reality TV. :) See more about | JEFF ROBERTS |
The duo is currently in the midst of touring in promotion of their new CD, "Are You Alone" which was released on July 18, 2008. Check out their full schedule, festival dates and touring plans! | SCHEDULE |
