Biography
Donny Baldwin is an American drummer best known as a member of Jefferson Starship and its continuation Starship.
Donny began his career as a drummer for Elvin Bishop during the 1970s where he worked with future Jefferson Starship bandmate Mickey Thomas. When Aynsley Dunbar left Jefferson Starship in 1982 Donny joined the band and first recorded with the band in the studio on Nuclear Furniture. He remained with Starship until their final studio album, Love Among the Cannibals. In 1990, he assaulted Mickey Thomas and broke his face. Thomas required reconstructive surgery and Baldwin was fired from Starship for the incident. From 1994 until its demise in 1995 Baldwin drummed for the Jerry Garcia Band. He rejoined the reformed Jefferson Starship in 2008, replacing Prairie Prince and will be performing on their tour to support the 2008 studio album Jefferson's Tree of Liberty. By coincidence, both times Donny joined Jefferson Starship he replaced a former Journey drummer.
