Daniel Donato announces live album ‘Ryman to Robert’s’

Artist Daniel Donato has announced his first live release, titled ‘Ryman to Robert’s’, scheduled for release in 2026 via Retrace Music. The multimedia project documents a sold-out headlining performance at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium on August 22, 2025, which served as a celebration for his previous album, ‘Horizons’.

To capture the event, Donato collaborated with multi-Grammy winning producer and engineer Vance Powell to record both audio and video. The release includes the Ryman set as well as an after-show performance at Robert’s Western World featuring Donato alongside bassist Mustang McGee, keyboardist Sugarlegg, and drummer Bronco Clark.

The 28-song collection will be available digitally and as a 5-LP set, accompanied by mini films. The project also features a discussion with Marty Halpern of Slide & Banjo regarding the memories from the Nashville performances.
