Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country

There are a lot of musical influences and sources that Daniel Donato has drawn on during his career. The Nashville guitarist-singer-songwriter band leader has delivered his first all-original album. But within those Donato has carved out a unique and individualized spot for himself, one that speaks to the deep American music heritage that inspires him – and that he’s pushing towards the future with inspired, intentional vigor.

He call is Cosmic Country, a moniker that is both self-descriptive and a statement of purpose. It’s an organic rock band aesthetic with plenty of roadhouse twang, a showcase for Donato’s instrumental virtuosity and facility for melodically infectious songcraft. Bridging Nashville and The Great West, Kentucky and Mid-60’s Northern California, Tie-Dye and Plaid, it’s a world of his own, and wide world of musical adventure.
