    Episode 307: Daniel Donato

    I sat down with Daniel Donato at the lovely Russell Hotel in Nashville, and the resulting conversation was one of the most unique I’ve had here on Roadcase. Daniel is both a deep thinker and a truly talented musician, and in this interview we explore the metaphysics of live performance — and just what it means to explore the outer limits of both music and consciousness. Daniel also talks to me about his own experience and growth as an individual, and how his faith and a belief in a higher force (physical and otherwise) drives him and keeps him focused on the higher meaning of his what he views as his personal mission. Daniel is super personable, fun, and really down for a great talk — we really go deep down the philosophical road together on this one — and I can’t wait for you to give this amazing interview a listen!!  Make sure to give a listen to Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country’s latest album, Horizons, and go check out these guys do their thing at a venue near you!! =================================== Chapters: 00:00 Episode Intro with Host Josh Rosenberg 05:05 The Importance of Presence in Performance 08:51 Reflections on Milestones and Achievements 13:02 The Journey of Growth and Experience 18:12 Spirituality and the Creative Process 22:23 The Role of the Artist in Society 27:34 The Collective Experience of Music 32:22 Personal Growth and Humility 37:12 Navigating the Music Industry 42:16 The Nature of Belief and Morality 47:06 Conclusion and Future Endeavors 52:16 Defining Cosmic Country 55:50 Creating a Unique Sound 01:03:24 The Journey of Self-Discovery 01:09:25 Surprises in the Music Industry 01:16:48 The Power of Dedicated Fans 01:20:09 Grassroots Community Building 01:26:13 Experiencing Live Music 01:35:56 Looking Ahead: Upcoming Shows   01:40:15 Episode Outro with Host Josh Rosenberg =================================== For more infomation on Daniel Donato's Cosmic Country click here The Ryman Auditorium - https://ryman.com South by Southwest Festival - https://www.sxsw.com Daniel Base platform - click here Mike Campbell's Book "Heartbreaker" click here =================================== For more information on Roadcase: https://linktr.ee/roadcasepod and https://www.roadcasepod.com Or contact Roadcase by email:  info@roadcasepod.com Roadcase theme music:  "Eugene (Instrumental)" by Waltzer

    This week’s guest is my friend Mike Chadinha, Festival Director and co-founder of Northlands Music & Arts Festival which takes place June 19-21 in Swanzey, New Hampshire.  I’m a big fan of Northlands and I’m super psyched to welcome Mike to the show!! Mike co-founded Northlands with his partner Seth McNally after enjoying success with the Drive-In Live shows in Swanzey during Covid.

Celebrating its fifth anniversary, Northlands features headliners Dirty Heads, Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, and The Disco Biscuits along with a slew of other amazing acts.  Mike and I of course break down last year’s edition with plenty of amazing stories, and he talks to me about his background in music, including how he eventually partnered with Seth to book shows, mostly in the New England area. We discuss the hows and whys of festival organizing from the ground up — everything from booking, ticketing, food, camping, to porta-potties (so important!!), and to just what is behind the awesome vibe that makes this festival so special.

    A big welcome back to Philip Lupton and Truett Heintzelman of Briscoe who return to the show this week. Briscoe’s phenomenal second full-length album, Heat of July, came out in September. Produced by Brad Cook, who assembled a folk-rock supergroup, the album features members of Houndmouth, Mipso and Bon Iver along with Andrew Marlin of Watchhouse and legend Phil Cook. Philip and Truett are childhood friends — they’ve lived almost parallel lives, and they talk to me about the delicate balance that puts their personal lives at the forefront while continuing to tour endlessly.
