An evening with Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country
LAVA Presents:Tuesday, September 30, 2025 at The Annex An evening with: Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country Tickets: $25 adv // $30 day of show Doors 7pm // Music 8pm All Ages — Daniel Donato’s philosophic approach to playing music is simply stated, if hardly simple to achieve. “It occurs to me that music is actually a form of service,” explains the Nashville raised singer, songwriter, guitarist and bandleader, who’s adopted Cosmic Country as both a group name and as the moniker for his ambitious stylistic alchemy. “You can make a living of it and do beautiful things with your life, but music is really a service to bring truth into people’s lives — if that’s something you’re interested in doing.” Donato has proven very interested, and extremely adept, at serving that higher calling with his music during the past six years of recording — including the new Horizons, his third studio album and second full set of all-original material. It’s another dynamic 15-song set that features Donato and his compatriots in Cosmic Country traipsing through a wealth of American music, picking like bluegrass virtuosos one minute, cranking out rock riffs the next and then steering into otherworldly — yes, cosmic — jam spaces. Co-produced with Vance Powell, who also worked on 2023’s reputation-establishing Reflector, it’s a testament to the reverence, curiosity and fearlessness that fuels Donato’s creative ambitions as both student and acolyte.
The Lemonheads: Love Chant World Tour w/ Erin Rae
Friday, November 14, 2025 at The Annex The Lemonheads: Love Chant World Tour w/ Erin Rae Tickets: $39.50 adv // $45 day of Doors 6pm // Music 7pm All Ages — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sroHymVOlQ&ab_channel=thelemonheads The Lemonheads return in 2025 with Love Chant (out via Fire Records, October 24th), their first studio album in nearly two decades – a bold, melodic reaffirmation of Evan Dando’s singular songwriting voice. Written across continents and recorded primarily in São Paulo, Brazil, where Dando now resides, Love Chant finds the frontman reconnecting with longtime collaborators while introducing new creative voices. It’s a record of fresh starts and familiar sounds – emotionally raw, melodically rich, and unmistakably Lemonheads. The new album features contributions from J Mascis (Dinosaur Jr), Juliana Hatfield, Tom Morgan, Bryce Goggin, Erin Rae, and Nick Saloman of The Bevis Frond. It’s a diverse but coherent work – from the full-throttle hooks of “Deep End” to the spectral softness of “The Key Of Victory,” and the Modern Lovers-like drive of the title track. Co-released alongside Dando’s forthcoming memoir Rumours Of My Demise (via Faber, November 6th), Love Chant marks both a return and a reckoning – the sound of an artist who’s lived, lost, and located the thread once again.

Pony Bradshaw OurVinyl Session Like his previous two releases, the tracks on Thus Spoke the Fool feel more like immersive experiences than mere songs, serving as odes to the land and language of Appalachia. These lyrical landscapes pay tribute to the region where Bradshaw settled nearly two decades ago. The songs are rich with imagery of mountain laurel and tobacco leaves, transporting listeners to mill towns, American Legion halls, and Mineral Bluff, GA. The songs offer a hybrid, textured sound with hints of bluegrass and Americana, rich with rustic guitar leads, fiddle and pedal steel.
