Donna the Buffalo
6-8-2017
Donna the Buffalo is one of the most dynamic and determined bands continuously touring America since 1989. Their feel-good, groove-oriented music has it's roots in old time fiddle music that evolved into a very danceable, soulful electric Americana mix infused with elements of cajun/ zydeco, rock, folk, reggae and country. Some long-time fans still refer to the band as "Dawn of the Buffalo," the proposed group name before a slurred overture by an intoxicated M.C. dubbed them Donna the Buffalo to which the name stuck.
Their dedicated fan base, self-named "The Herd," follows the band with zeal and has created a unique and supportive community online and at DTB shows across the nation.
The group’s core are vocalists Tara Nevins, who plays fiddle, guitar, accordion, and scrubboard, and guitarist Jeb Puryear. Keyboardist Dave McCracken, bassist Kyle Spark, and drummer Vic Stafford complete the ensemble. The dynamic songwriting tandem of Jeb Puryear and Tara Nevins have penned over 150 songs in their collaboration with DTB, and they show no signs of slowing down. They are known for touring the country remaining fiercely independent as one of the industry’s most diverse roots-music bands and have earned a reputation as one of the most respected, eclectic and hardest-working acts today.
"Donna the Buffalo doing what they love, and even better, sharing that passion to the benefit of the public, is the strongest business formula ever written. They are living proof of that." - Beat Magazine
“Multi-instrumentalist Tara Nevins and Jeb Puryear, both ace guitarists, split vocals and writing for this band that’s country, old-timey, rock and roll, and well, just all around great. Best tune? Pick any one.” - Vintage Guitar
