The Buffalo: About The Band
|
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.
