Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country

Daniel Donato's Cosmic Country plays Americana rooted deep in Nashville, built around the kind of guitar picking that nods to the Dead as much as it does to Merle Haggard. Donato came up as a Telecaster player before stepping out front with this band, and the group has built a following on the jam circuit through steady touring and long, exploratory sets.

They have a Colorado stop coming up at Eagle County Fairgrounds, worth catching if you like your country loose and your solos long.
