About
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. Since 1989, the roots rockers have played thousands of shows and countless festivals including Bonnaroo, Newport Folk Festival, Telluride, Austin City Limits Festival, Merle Fest, and Philadelphia Folk Festival.
They've opened for The Dead and have toured with Peter Rowan, Del McCoury, Los Lobos, Little Feat, Jim Lauderdale, Rusted Root, and Railroad Earth to name a few. They also toured with Ben & Jerry's co-founder Ben Cohen to help raise awareness about increased corporate spending in politics.
In 1991, the band started the Finger Lakes Grassroots Festival in Trumansburg, NY. The four day festival has become an annual destination for over 15,000 music lovers every year and was started as an AIDS benefit. It continues as a benefit for arts and education. To date, the event has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars and is now one of three Grassroots Festivals; the Bi-annual Shakori Hills fest in North Carolina and Virginia Key festival in Florida. In 2016 GrassRoots Culture Camp was introduced in Trumansburg, New York as four days of music, art, dance and movement workshops, including nightly dinners and dances.

by GKC on 5/11/24Elevation 27 - Virginia BeachFirst time seeing Donna the Buffalo and I'm gonna see 'em again! Talented, versatile and thoroughly enjoyable. Great mix of R&B, Americana and Zydeco with a touch of funk. Love Elevation too where you can get an up close & personal experience without pushing and shoving.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Great Music
by KWKen on 3/6/24The Senate - ColumbiaBoth bands (Steel Wheels and Donna the Buffalo) were great. The sound was good and the Venue was good (if you don't mind standing). As typical for Columbia, SC, the attendance for a Bluegrass/Americana concert was sparse. These same bands would have sold out in other locations.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Good time had by all.
by DPut on 3/4/24Jefferson Theater - CharlottesvilleThe band was on point, as always. Have not been in a few years and forgot how they know how to piece a jam together. Just great. Love the Jefferson theater. Staff is always great, place is clean, sound is on point and it is set up to be a great place to see a show.

Rating: 4 out of 5 Uplifting Evening
by Old Folkies on 1/7/24Ponte Vedra Concert Hall - Ponte Vedra BeachWe really enjoyed the event-especially Tara Nevin's musical versatility. She was amazing on violin, guitar, squeezebox, and washboard! The only downside was that we're over sixty, and it appeared that many others in the audience were, as well, which made standing for the entire performance pretty uncomfortable. Maybe an option for seats or standing could be arranged for future performances? We would have happily paid more for the choice. Otherwise, it was a great evening!
Rating: 2 out of 5 Great band but terrible venue
by JM on 12/10/23Jimmy’s Jazz and Blues Club - PortsmouthDonna the Buffalo was great as always, but it was completely the wrong venue (Jimmy’s Jazz Club) for this band. Everyone had to sit at dinner tables and there was almost no opportunity and space for people to dance. When someone would get up and dance, it looked awkward. We were sat in a side room that is cut off from the main ballroom and we had to view the whole concert through an open window. I spoke to folks who were sat up close to the stage and they said the sound was overpowering and terrible because they were too close. Why there was no dance floor, I have no idea. This venue is probably better suited for quieter, more mellow music like Jazz or Folk, not Rock music. Very strange place. I absolutely would not recommend going to a concert here unless they remove all of the tables and chairs.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Didn’t know what to expect…
by theGiff on 11/2/23I saw a blip of DtB on late night tv some time ago (Austin City Limits?) and remembered their name, of course. Saw they were in town and decided to go, not really knowing anything else. Less than one minute into their opening number I grew a big smile on my face and it stayed there the rest of the night! In fact, I’m still smiling. Go see them, sit/stand/dance up close, and you will not be disappointed.
