Donovan Woods returns with "Squander Your Gifts"; tour in October

Known for his candid, emotionally resonant songwriting, Donovan Woods blends folk, country, and pop into songs that feel both intimate and universal. His work has been recorded by artists including Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, Charles Kelley of Lady A, Ben Platt, Barenaked Ladies and many more — a testament to his gift for storytelling.

Albums such as Hard Settle, Ain’t Troubled, Both Ways, Without People, and the Polaris Prize Long Listed Things Were Never Good If They’re Not Good Now showcase his ability to explore love, vulnerability, and human connection with striking honesty.

In 2026, Woods returns with Squander Your Gifts (out February 27), a five-track EP dedicated to his late friend and collaborator Abe Stoklasa — a moving reflection on loss, love, and living. Unflinchingly honest and unafraid to bare his soul, Donovan Woods continues to solidify his place as one of North America’s most compelling songwriters — and we’re happy to announce a string of Benelux shows bringing these new songs to the stage.
