An evening with Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country

September 30 2025

6:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.
The Annex 2500 Church Street, Unit A Norfolk, VA 23517 Price: Tickets: $25 adv // $30 day of show

Daniel Donato’s philosophic approach to playing music is simply stated, if hardly simple to achieve.

“It occurs to me that music is actually a form of service,” explains the Nashville raised singer, songwriter, guitarist and bandleader, who’s adopted Cosmic Country as both a group name and as the moniker for his ambitious stylistic alchemy. “You can make a living of it and do beautiful things with your life, but music is really a service to bring truth into people’s lives — if that’s something you’re interested in doing.”

Donato has proven very interested, and extremely adept, at serving that higher calling with his music during the past six years of recording — including the new Horizons, his third studio album and second full set of all-original material. It’s another dynamic 15-song set that features Donato and his compatriots in Cosmic Country traipsing through a wealth of American music, picking like bluegrass virtuosos one minute, cranking out rock riffs the next and then steering into otherworldly — yes, cosmic — jam spaces. Co-produced with Vance Powell, who also worked on 2023’s reputation-establishing Reflector, it’s a testament to the reverence, curiosity and fearlessness that fuels Donato’s creative ambitions as both student and acolyte.
