Donovan has performed with Brandi Carlile, Ruby Amanfu, Will Hoge, and worked with Wyclef Jean of The Fugees on his single, Shipwreck.
Thom Donovan was educated at Lindenwood University where he graduated with a BA in Music, studying under John McClellan (Luciano Pavarotti).
At Lindenwood, Donovan performed in a master class with Scott Tennant of the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet.
The duo's primary influences were Velvet Underground and the sounds of Motown; which the brothers had discovered in their father's record collection.
However, Lapush would have to wait, as later in 2001, Donovan briefly joined the band Stir in the studio during the recording of their 3rd album (which was never officially released).
However, the band was dropped from their label, Capitol Records, and then went on hiatus, allowing Donovan to concentrate on his own project.
Songs from the album were featured frequently in film and television, including Moonlight on CBS[3] as well as Laguna Beach and The Hills on MTV.
[4] The band's second album, Modern Blues was released in 2007 and featured the singles, "Closer", "Run" and "Leave The Light On".
[6] Cast A Light, Donovan's debut solo album was released on March 30, 2010, through his own imprint, Lapush Recordings.
Donovan moved from St. Louis to Nashville in 2010 after signing a publishing contract with Nettwerk and Revelry Music Group.
Donovan composed the lyrics for "Shipwreck"—inspired by Arthur Brooke and his poem, The Tragicall History of Romeus and Juliet (1562).
Prior to launching Rossi, the two co-wrote a song called "Overload," which Morgan released as solo material and was featured on CBS's The Good Wife.
Rick Anderson, Allmusic comments: "Tout Le Monde" features what is probably the best six-note guitar solo ever recorded."
Donovan's music has appeared in film and television including: Body of Proof, The Good Wife, Moonlight, The Hills, The City, and Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County.
[15] Donovan appeared in an uncredited role as a keyboardist in Nashville, seen at different times in the background, playing in the bands of characters Avery Barkley (Jonathan Jackson), Deacon Claybourne (Charles Esten) and Scarlett O'Connor (Clare Bowen).
