HORIZONS RECEIVES CRITICAL ACCLAIM FOLLOWING AUGUST 22ND RELEASE AND SOLD-OUT RYMAN AUDITORIUM PERFORMANCE
“…on ‘Horizons,’ the ambitious and euphonious new studio album, the group’s aim is true.”
– Relix
“The Nashville guitarslinger continues to redefine his idea of ‘Cosmic Country’ on a mind-expanding new project.” – Rolling Stone
Nashville, TN – Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country has released a new performance video for their joyful and optimistic song “Sunshine In The Rain.” The song appears on their highly acclaimed brand-new album Horizons.
“Some moments in life, you’re aware enough to see signs that tell you that you’re in the right place at the right time, even when life is applying pressure to you to transform you into a diamond,” says Donato. “Destiny is at hand, and there are synchronicities to prove it. ‘Sunshine In The Rain’ is a tune that sheds inspiring light to these subtle moments to reveal the large Cosmic scale they are functioning on.” Watch “Sunshine In The Rain” HERE.
On their third album, Horizons finds the group injecting a bolt of lightning into a wealth of American music with their signature brand of cosmic country and fearless musical explorations. The album is steeped in a foundation of country, rock, bluegrass, funk and so much more. Catch Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country on tour now (see dates below).
Following its August 22nd release via Retrace Music, and a sold-out Ryman Auditorium performance that night, Horizons garnered high praise from the press, including Rolling Stone, Relix, Saving Country Music, Magnet, Goldmine, Twangville, The Tennessean, The Nashville Scene, Grateful Web and many more (See Highlights).
“…Donato & Cosmic Country have delivered what is, without question, their strongest studio recording to date.” – Glide Magazine
“Whether it’s a country instrumental, or an extended acid jam, you just can’t help but be mesmerized by the instrumental prowess, and the compositional imagination Daniel Donato and his accomplices evidence on ‘Horizons.’” – Saving Country Music
“This 15-track opus strikes a remarkable balance between his exceptional songwriting, the nuanced arrangement sensibilities of his band, and guitar work that simmers just beneath the surface.” – Goldmine Magazine
“‘Horizons’ is another vast experiment in warm-hearted all-inclusiveness from Daniel Donato and his Cosmic Country compadres. This one claims classic C&W as its stylistic foundation, layering on elements of bluegrass, rock, jammy psychedelia and even funk.” – Magnet Magazine
“‘Horizons’ is an album that combines technical brilliance with heart and soul… he’s not just pushing boundaries; he’s setting a new course entirely.” – Twangville
Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country is Daniel Donato (lead vocals/guitar), Nathan “Sugar Legg” Aronowitz (keyboards/vocals), Will “Mustang” McGee (bass/vocals), and William “Bronco” Clark (drums & percussion).
