As a touring guitarist, Donovan White knows road life all too well. He once traveled 43 hours – each way – for a gig with the Alternative Rock Band “Vertical Horizon”, playing a festival gig in Shillong, India. But White isn’t complaining. He’s living the dream that he has had since playing air guitar along with KISS albums as a child growing up in St. Louis Park, Minn.

It was quite the journey to get there… and beyond. His family moved to Texas and then Kansas City in the early ‘80s. White then spent nearly two decades songwriting, recording, collaborating and performing with various Kansas City-based bands and indie labels. Along the way, he got to know a sound engineer named Jay Phebus. In 2010, Phebus was working with Vertical Horizon and asked White if he would be interested in being considered for a touring guitarist opportunity with the band. “Of course!” replied White. Then White heard nothing … until Thanksgiving 2011. That’s when opportunity struck. “Vertical Horizon called and asked if I wanted to play a show on New Year’s Eve – in Anchorage, Alaska,” said White. “They said, ‘Here’s 15 songs … we’ll see you there.’ The audition was the show.”

Donovan spends time in the studio with John and Bob, talking about not only the road life, but the music business in general. It's a very enlightening and informative conversation about what it’s like to work in the entertainment industry.
