Daniel Donato's own musical frequency was tuned at a young age while growing up in Nashville. At just 14 he start busking on Music City's lower Broadway for eight hours at a time. After giving his card to the leader of the Robert's Western World house band every weekend for three years, he finally had an opportunity to sit in. 464 shows later, Donato honed his skill and learned stagecraft. After a high school history teacher gave him a pile of Grateful Dead bootleg recordings when he was 18, the stage was set for what would eventually become Donato's vision, Cosmic Country. Since then, the guitar virtuoso, singer, songwriter and bandleader has released two acclaimed albums, the latest being 2023's celebrated Reflector and has been tearing it up on the road playing over 200 show per year. Daniel Donato's Cosmic Country has played to sold-out crowds from coast to coast and garnered a passionate and rapidly expanding fanbase.
