Donna the Buffalo

“Since their formation in the late ‘80s, upstate New York roots combo Donna the Buffalo have amassed a die-hard following, launched and maintained a beloved music festival, toured the country's festival and club circuit many times over without sacrificing their homespun regional appeal.” AllMusic.com

Donna The Buffalo is not just a band, rather one might say that Donna The Buffalo has become a lifestyle for its members and audiences.

Although associated with the American jam band scene, DTB boasts the fervent fandom and close-knit community of that movement with very little of its hippie ethos, focusing more on tight songwriting and an upbeat folk-inspired palette. That’s what’s at the heart of it all: the music, a warmly eclectic body of work that spans rock, jazz, country, zydeco, and folk.

They’ve opened for The Dead and have toured with Peter Rowan, Del McCoury, Los Lobos, Little Feat, Rusted Root, and Railroad Earth (to name a few), played thousands of shows and countless festivals including Bonnaroo, Newport Folk Festival, Telluride, and Austin City Limits Festival, and backed artists like The Avett Brothers, Bela Fleck, Keller Williams, Zac Brown, John Paul Jones, and Chris Thile.
