Rising guitarist Daniel Donato is seemingly connected to Gram Parsons with the former’s expression of music he calls “Cosmic Country.” Donato’s excellent 2023 album, Reflector, was fully credited to his band, as he released the record as Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country.
When Donato found himself near Joshua Tree on a recent tour, he stayed a night at The Joshua Tree Inn. While there, Donato visited the Gram Parsons memorial to pay respect to his cosmically connected musical brethren.
