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 a wide world of musical adventure at that.
While growing up in Nashville his his father, who turned his young son on to music of all genres, suggested the fledgling and industriously minded (even at just 14) artist start busking in Nashville's lower Broadway area and outside concerts, for eight hours at a time on the weekends.
One night, the two happened by Robert's Western World where legendary honky-tonk local mainstay the Don Kelly Band were performing.
Donato eventually became a member of the band, playing four hours a night at Robert's (464 shows in total).
Horizons is the follow up to 2023's Reflector, which received critical acclaim from a wide range of press, including No Depression, Glide Magazine, Magnet Magazine, and more.
Donato the subject of features in Rolling Stone, UPROXX, Garden & Gun and Relix.
