'I Talk About You' is out now: https://donovanwoodsada.lnk.to/ITalkAboutYou Pre-save my new EP, Squander Your Gifts, out Feb 27https://donovanwoodsada.lnk.to/SquanderYourGiftsAward-winning singer-songwriter Donovan Woods gained breakout success with "Portland, Maine," a song he co-wrote alongside Abe Stoklasa. The song was written in a matter of hours by the two writers who had just met that morning, and Tim McGraw ended up cutting it. Woods went on to release his original demo of the song to DSP’s on a whim, which became his most successful song to date. 2025 marks the 10-year anniversary of the release and to celebrate he has released a brand new version featuring multi-platinum with Grammy award winning superstar LeAnn Rimes.Known for his candid, emotionally resonant songwriting, Woods blends folk, country, and pop. Outside of his own recorded music, he has written songs that have been recorded by Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, Charles Kelley of Lady A, Ben Platt, Hailey Whitters, Ashley Cooke, Barenaked Ladies, Matt Nathanson, Phillip Phillips and more. Albums like Hard Settle, Ain’t Troubled, Both Ways, Without People and his most recent Polaris Prize Long Listed album Things Were Never Good If They’re Not Good Now, are praised for his consistent compelling storytelling of exploring love, vulnerability, and relationships. With each release, Donovan Woods continues to solidify his place as one of North America’s most compelling songwriters — unflinchingly honest, an artist who isn’t afraid to bear his soul.
