Daniel Donato

Daniel Donato is a Nashville-based guitarist, singer, and songwriter known for pioneering a style he calls "Cosmic Country." Blending elements of classic country, rock ‘n’ roll, and psychedelia, Donato has carved out a distinctive niche with his virtuosic guitar playing and free-spirited sound. He first gained attention as a young prodigy playing regularly at the famed Robert’s Western World on Broadway in Nashville, honing his chops in front of live audiences and developing a loyal fan base.

With records like A Young Man’s Country and Cosmic Country & Western Songs, Donato showcases not only his technical skill but also his knack for songcraft and storytelling. His energetic live shows and jam-band sensibilities have earned comparisons to artists like the Grateful Dead and Willie Nelson, making him a bridge between traditional country roots and open-ended, exploratory musicianship. Whether he’s channeling vintage tones or exploring new musical realms, Donato continues to expand the boundaries of what modern country can be.
