History

Young Legs is an indie folk musician and the artistic moniker of Steven Donahue, a multi-instrumentalist from Denville, New Jersey. Jersey Beat columnist Deborah Draisin describes his music as "innocent, free and intricate". [1] [2] In 2010, he recorded an album in his parents' basement titled The Fog and The Forest, which Donahue explains as "the story of a disenchanted lover who permanently finds solace in a misty wood." [3] Mint 400 Records signed Young Legs in 2015.
