Show Notes
Daniel Donato has drawn on a lot of musical influences and sources during his career, that inform Reflector (Retrace Music), the Nashville guitarist-singer-songwriter-band leader's first all-original album. 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 -- and that he's pushing towards the future with inspired, intentional vigor.
He calls it Cosmic Country, a moniker that's both self-descriptive and a statement of purpose. It's an organic rock band aesthetic with plenty of roadhouse twang, a showcase for Donato's instrumental virtuosity and facility for melodically infectious songcraft. Bridging Nashville and the Great West, Kentucky and mid-60s northern California, tie-dye and plaid, it's a world of his own, and wide world of musical adventure at that.
"I think Cosmic Country is a tale as old as time, really," Donato explains. "It's yin and yang in a musical form. It's three chords and the truth, and then on the other side it's exploration and bravery. I really went through a lot of years of grinding, and still am, to achieve this sound which is a vehicle for my personality, and the personality is a vehicle for my soul. So (Reflector) is more that than any other record I ever put out."

"Seen DDCC about 10x now and they get better each night. This one was by far the best I've seen. Selling out Boulder Theatre is a huge step in "making it" as a band. They showed up to play and gave us a heater."

"What a night of music at the Boulder Theater, where I've witnessed other high frequency events. Daniel said this was their biggest solo show to date and the crowd showed out. I broke a sweat during both sets. To the stars for this band."
