Daniel Donato

Backed by his three-piece Cosmic Country Band, Daniel Donato stands at the frontier of his career with characteristic intrepidity, unbounded by the expressive limitations of his instrument. An Americana Award nominee in 2018, he has played guitar for Nashville, Tennessee, acts such as the Wild Feathers, Paul Cauthen, and the Don Kelley Band.

Since he was 14, Donato has developed his brand of crisp, soulful, on-the-edge telecaster picking under bar lights, honing his skills and proving his mettle in the city’s prominent live music scene. Now, three years since leaving Kelley’s classic country outfit, the 23-year-old is signed to William Morris Endeavors as an artist with a docket of jam-ready country and bluegrass songs.
