Traveling singer/songwriter who was named one of America's 10 best living songwriters by NPR and is currently signed to Conor "Bright Eyes" Oberst's Team-Love label.
Oberst credits Dondero as a strong influence on his own acoustic poetic folk style after catching sets by Dondero's previous group Sunbrain. Dondero's breakthrough occured mainly after Oberst's Team Love label released Dondero's "South of The South" album online for free download.
His stark and often twisted lyrics explore observations made of the darkside of life, including death, divorce and dysfunction.
Dondero as of this writing is 37 and has at least 4 other individual full length CD releases circulating besides "South of the South" including previous self released efforts, and work released via the Bay Area's small Future Farmer indie label that discovered Grandaddy as well.
Dondero mainly makes the San Francisco area his home. He has played the Noise Pop & SXSW festivals to critical acclaim and received many reviews praising his lyrics.
