We’ve chatted with Mihali a few times over the years, but it’s never been about two projects at once. It seems though, that the Twiddle frontman has been busy working on a solo project released in July called Effection and a brand new Twiddle album Every Last Leaf. So we kept it brief but were able get in a lot during our conversation. 

First song: Mihali - Open House (Featuring Chadwick Stokes)

Second song: Twiddle - The Devil (Featuring John Popper)

I couldn’t make it to Peach Festival this year, but the crew of people who I knew that did, were raving about a young guy who played the guitar like a man possessed and served up a large heaping plate of cosmic country goodness. They of course were referring to the captivating Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country. When you first hear Daniel’s voice, it’s a throw back to the days of country crooners before him, and his playing style is that of a demon, with odes to country, honky tonk, bluegrass and good ole rock n’ roll. After hearing both his studio work I dug in to some of the live stuff available at nugs.net and was blown away. How can it be, that such a young man, be such a force, and be able to create such a mesmerizing sonic pulse. Well, we caught up with the purveyor of cosmic country, to get the skinny and more. Here’s our chat with Daniel Donato. 

First song: Why You Been Gone So Long 

Second song: Daniel Donato - 04-27-22 - Cumberland Blues > Luck Of The Draw - The Southern - Charlottesville, VA

March 3, 1993 at the Rosemont Horizon in Chicago, Ilinois, may go down as one of the most important dates in modern Jam Band history. 
The Grateful Dead performed that night in the Windy City and said venue and noted promoter, club owner, philanthropist, activist and raconteur Peter Shapiro was in attendance, at the first Dead show he ever attended.
He recently published a memoir of his life’s work to date in a must read book “The Music Never Stops…” co-penned by Dean Budnick the editor at Relix Magazine. 
I’ve always been intrigued by Peter Shapiro’s efforts to bring quality music to live audiences. Up until recently I’ve had a very general periphery idea of his accomplishments, but after reading his book, I needed to know more, directly from Peter himself…
