Daniel Donato's Cosmic Country presented by Deep Cut and Thalia Hall

About this event

There are a lot of musical influences and sources that Daniel Donato has drawn on during his career and that inform his latest album, Horizon (Retrace Music), his second 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 hes pushing towards the future with inspired, intentional vigor.He calls it Cosmic Country, a moniker thats both self-descriptive and a statement of purpose. Its an organic rock band aesthetic with plenty of roadhouse twang; a showcase for Donatos instrumental virtuosity and facility for melodically infectious songcraft. Bridging Nashville and the Great West, Kentucky and mid-60s northern California, tie-dye and plaid, its a world of his own, and a wide world of musical adventure at that.While growing up in Nashville his his father, who turned his young son on to music of all genres, suggested the fledgling and industriously minded (even at just 14) artist start busking in Nashvilles lower Broadway area and outside concerts, for eight hours at a time on the weekends. One night, the two happened by Roberts Western World where legendary honky-tonk local mainstay the Don Kelly Band were performing. Donato eventually became a member of the band, playing four hours a night at Roberts (464 shows in total).Horizons is the follow up to 2023s Reflector, which received critical acclaim from a wide range of press, including No Depression, Glide Magazine, Magnet Magazine, and more. Donato the subject of features in Rolling Stone, UPROXX, Garden s Cosmic Country made their network television debut on CBS Saturday Morning and appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colberts #LateShowMeMusic online series.The whole package of player, singer, writer and band leader was in place. Three albums in, Daniel Donatos Cosmic Country, featuring Nathan Sugarlegg Aronowitz (keyboards/guitars/vocals), Will Mustang McGee (bass/vocals) and Will Bronco Clark (drums, percussion/vocals) are selling out venues throughout the country and bringing their brand of Cosmic Country to an ever growing, passionate fanbase.
