In early December Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country will perform nine acoustic dates. The group will perform as a trio for these shows, without drummer Will “Bronco” Clark who will be on paternity leave following the birth of a child.

Donato notes, “As Bronco stays home to tend to the old home place and his newly born son this December, I had a wild idea…Let’s do an unplugged acoustic tour! The very first in Cosmic Country history of all space and time.”

A number of special guests will appear for the acoustic run. The first three dates will take place at the Ardmore Music Hall on December 3-5. These nights will also feature Anders Beck (12/3), JP & Poppy Biondo (12/4), Bronwyn Keith-Hynes (12/5).

Then it’s on to the Asheville Music Hall in Asheville, NC on December 9-11. These shows will include appearances by Aron Magner (12/9), Jeff Sipe (12/10) and Kyser George (12/11).

The final three gigs have yet to be announced.

Asheville pre-sale tickets now with code “HORSE.” The general on sale is this Friday, 10/2 at 10am ET.

Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country just wrapped up a series of shows with Molly Tuttle. You can watch Tuttle joining the group for “East Bound and Down” in Asheville on Saturday.
