Donna the Buffalo at the Cutting Room - 12/20

Since their formation in the late '80s, upstate New York roots combo Donna the Buffalo have amassed a die-hard following, launched and maintained a beloved music festival, toured the country's festival and club circuit many times over while without sacrificing their homespun regional appeal, and released a warmly eclectic body of recorded work that spans rock, jazz, country, zydeco, and folk. Although associated with the American jam band scene, DTB boasts the fervent fandom and close-knit community of that movement with very little of its hippie ethos, focusing more on tight songwriting and an upbeat folk-inspired palette. In addition to their own strong releases like 1996's The Ones You Love, 2008's Silverlined, and 2018's Dance in the Street, they've shared stages with bands like Los Lobos, Railroad Earth, and Little Feat, and recorded an album with Jim Lauderdale.
