A month after turning 17, Donivan Berube left home and disassociated himself from the church of Jehovah’s Witnesses, thus losing all family and friends forever. Then he took off to travel the continent by tent, touring internationally while releasing albums on small labels as Blessed Feathers. In the time since, he’s worked as an English teacher in Huaycán, Peru, a librarian in Big Sur, California, a luthier in Arizona, and taken solo long-distance bicycle tours across the United States, France, Iceland, and Ireland. His music has been featured by NPR's Morning Edition, Paste Magazine, and Vinyl Me, Please, while his writing has appeared in publications such as American Trails and the book 100 Albums You Need On Vinyl and Why.
