He has appeared (fronting the Easy Stir and Roll Blues Band) at The Stone Pony and Club Bene, and at many smaller venues.

Donna the Buffalo's music is original American roots-rock. A stalwart of the folk-roots world and its accompanying festival circuit, Donna the Buffalo has left its indelible musical footprints on the stages of clubs, theatres and festivals across the country.

Funky and danceable with a message of tribal philosophy and celebration, Donna the Buffalo has developed a unique mix of reggae, rock, cajun, country, zydeco and folk backed by driving rhythms. The dual lead vocals of Nevins and Puryear provide a unique, hypnotic quality to the melody, adding to the band's unusual instrumentation and strikingly original sound.

While their swirling musical creations intoxicate listeners, Donna's pointed lyrics also issue moral challenges "with the early arrows of Bob Dylan, shot from the bow of Bob Marley," as the band likes to say. Topic material moves effortlessly between political, historical, personal and spiritual themes, with ideas of social and moral responsibility that spring from the band members core beliefs.

Not one to preach without practicing, Donna the Buffalo turns belief into action every summer as the driving force behind the FingerLakes GrassRoots Festival. Staged in Trumansburg, NY, the Donna organization plans and hosts the event, which benefits AIDS programs and art education throughout the upstate area. The 1998 festival witnessed over 7,000 people converge for 4 days of music from more than 60 bands, including such international talent as Toots & the Maytalls, King Sunny Ade, Altan and of course Donna the Buffalo.

Besides their own GrassRoots Festival, Donna the Buffalo has appeared at festivals from New York to North Carolina, sharing stages with bands such as Los Lobos, 10,000 Maniacs, Richie Havens, Merle Saunders, David Grisman and Rusted Root. Formed in Ithaca, N.Y. in 1987, Donna the Buffalo came together as musicians sharing a common interest in old-time fiddle music.
