DONNA THE BUFFALO:
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 the 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.
