On Saturday, March 22nd, Roots Music Project hosted Organ Fairchild with support from Simple Syrup for a night of funk, rock, and much in between. It was my first time experiencing Roots, and I will definitely be coming back. I’m a sucker for 1. an …

On Thursday, February 27th, the City of Boulder, Colorado had the privilege of hosting Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country. The one-night event before the band went up to Steamboat Springs was, as always, SUCH a treat. This is not typical country.
Daniel Donato is Nashville born, and (per his website) Grateful Dead influenced — Cosmic Country never made so much sense. The band is also comprised of Nathan Aronowitz (keyboards/vocals), Will McGee (bass/vocals), and Will Clark (drums and percussion). Daniel Donato’s first album “A Young Man’s Country” was released in 2020 (check out the cover of “Fire on the Mountain“) and features a humorous album cover involving horses, a skeleton, and mushrooms. Donato’s most recent album release (2023) is named “Reflector” and is the first album to feature the talents of most of his touring band. Cosmic Country is traveling around the US this winter/spring/summer, and has four more shows in Colorado booked currently (yippee Cervantes, Red Rocks, and Rhythms on the Rio!).
If you have not seen Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country before, you must. The style is hard to describe, really. The soul is country, yet the personality is rock, folk, bluegrass, and psychedelic. You can go from laying in the desert sun to rumbling on a locomotive real quick. Cosmic Country is the kind of show where it is impossible to loose focus – there is always some element of instrumentation that leaves you hanging on. Not to mention the talent that Aronowitz contributes to Cosmic Country is outstanding. Donato and Aronowitz’s voices harmonize so well, and the way Aronowitz plays the keys is incredibly distinct. Donato’s voice is also something to mention — his voice is soft, yet he has great enunciation, and an overall homey feel. Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country is such an exceptionally good show, and I encourage you to see them (country music lover or not).
I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad time at the Boulder Theater, and I’d guess I’ve been there at least ten times. Boulder Theater has tiered audience viewing, so seeing from the back in front of the sound booth wasn’t too difficult for me (I’m 5″1′). Another thing I enjoy about the Boulder Theater is the capacity. The venue is relatively big, never feels oversold, and still has an intimate feel. They also have a balcony with seats if you enjoy that sort of thing. I have also never had a problem with the sound at the Boulder Theater – it always seems well mixed, with enough bass.
Here are some of my favorite songs by Daniel Donato right now:

A playlist by Daily Puulse featuring some of pop music’s most talented icons.
The second volume of the Daily Puulse Fresh Eats playlist, including new releases from 08/28/20 to 09/04/20
Do you ever drift into deep thought and think about what sounds were traveling through your eardrums in the early 2010’s? Well, we have a playlist just for that: 2010’s Dance Oldies. Recently, I’ve had the chance to reconnect with some of these tunes in the last few weeks. Thankfully, as a Daily Puulse follower, you get the chance to enjoy them.
This 2010’s Dance Oldies playlist includes music that you probably boogied to at a high school or middle school dance. Maybe you danced to one of these tracks with your first love. Maybe you shared one of them on your Facebook profile. While all of those things are (thankfully) in the past, the quality of these bangers live on. Enjoy, audiophiles.
