Donna the Buffalo

Donna the Buffalo is more than a band, it's a lifestyle. Since 1989, the roots-rock group has performed thousands of shows and major festivals, including Bonnaroo, Newport Folk Festival, Austin City Limits, MerleFest, and Telluride. They've shared the stage with The Dead, Peter Rowan, Del McCoury, Los Lobos, Little Feat, Jim Lauderdale, Rusted Root, and Railroad Earth. In 1991, the band launched the Finger Lakes Grassroots Festival in Trumansburg, NY, originally an AIDS benefit, which now draws over 15,000 attendees annually and continues to support arts and education. Their festival legacy has expanded to the Shakori Hills Festival in North Carolina and the Virginia Key Festival in Florida. In 2016, they introduced GrassRoots Culture Camp, offering four days of music, art, dance, and movement workshops with nightly performances. Donna the Buffalo's music and community spirit continue to inspire and engage fans across generations.
