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.

First off I can say that I have never seen a bad show by DTB. The show started on a high note and ended on a high and quite frankly the show moved along so quickly I did not realize that it was 1:13 AM when things wrapped up
A disjointed playlist that never really built to anything fine - a listless and uninspired Jeb - and a crowd that didn't much want to dance - made this forgettable. Tara was strong, tho. I'll see 'em next time around (hey all, come to Wheatland in '11, eh!?!)
This show was EPIC!! A lot of classic DTB songs were played. Enjoyed it soooo much!!!!
Intimate atmosphere, engaged crowd, minor technical difficulties at the start seemed to push the band to a higher level throughout the remainder of the night. Blissful jams, great friends, and cold beer, the perfect storm. Always leave a Donna show with a 5-star shit grin, and this one was no different.
What a great show! Donna played for over 2 1/2 hours and I never stopped dancing! One of the best shows I've ever seen them put on :)
One of the Great live Bands in North America and last night at the Bowery Ball room they were "on" Great set
