Daniel Donato

Daniel Donato leads Cosmic Country, a band built around his guitar playing and a sound that pulls from Americana, jam band improvisation, and newgrass picking. He came up through Nashville's guitar scene and has built a following on the strength of his playing as much as his songwriting, drawing comparisons to the loose, exploratory style of Grateful Dead and classic outlaw country in equal measure.

He has nearly 50,000 followers on Spotify and keeps a steady touring schedule. Colorado dates are on the books at Mishawaka Amphitheatre and Telluride Town Park, two rooms that suit his band's habit of stretching songs out live.
