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 \u2014 and that he\u2019s pushing towards the future with inspired, intentional vigor.<\/p>\n<p>He calls it <strong>Cosmic Country<\/strong>, a moniker that\u2019s both self-descriptive and a statement of purpose. It\u2019s an organic rock band aesthetic with plenty of roadhouse twang; a showcase for Donato\u2019s instrumental virtuosity and facility for melodically infectious songcraft. Bridging <strong>Nashville and the Great West,<\/strong> <strong>Kentucky and mid-60s northern California, tie-dye and plaid<\/strong>, it\u2019s a world of his own, and a wide world of <strong>musical adventure<\/strong> at that.<\/p>\n<p>While growing up in <strong>Nashville<\/strong>, 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 Nashville\u2019s lower Broadway area and outside concerts, for eight hours at a time on the weekends. One night, the two happened by <strong>Robert\u2019s Western World<\/strong> where legendary honky-tonk local mainstay the <strong>Don Kelly Band<\/strong> were performing. Donato eventually became a member of the band, playing four hours a night at Robert\u2019s (464 shows in total).<\/p>\n<p><em>Horizons<\/em> is the follow up to 2023\u2019s <em>Reflector<\/em>, which received critical acclaim from a wide range of press, including <strong>No Depression<\/strong>, <strong>Glide Magazine<\/strong>, <strong>Magnet Magazine<\/strong>, and more. Donato is the subject of features in <strong>Rolling Stone<\/strong>, <strong>UPROXX<\/strong>, <strong>Garden &amp; Gun<\/strong> and <strong>Relix<\/strong>.<strong> Daniel Donato\u2019s Cosmic Country<\/strong> made its network television debut on <strong>CBS Saturday Morning<\/strong> and appeared on <strong>The Late Show with Stephen Colbert\u2019s #LateShowMeMusic<\/strong> online series.<\/p>\n<p>The whole package of player, singer, writer, and band leader was in place. Three albums in, <strong>Daniel Donato\u2019s Cosmic Country<\/strong>, featuring <strong>Nathan \u201cSugarlegg\u201d Aronowitz<\/strong> (keyboards\/guitars\/vocals), <strong>Will \u201cMustang\u201d McGee<\/strong> (bass\/vocals) and <strong>Will \u201cBronco\u201d Clark<\/strong> (drums, percussion\/vocals) are selling out venues throughout the country and bringing their brand of <strong>Cosmic Country<\/strong> to an ever growing, passionate fanbase.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cashortrade.org\/daniel-donato-tickets\/\"><strong>Visit Daniel Donato&#8217;s Face Value Ticket Exchange<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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.
