Donna the Buffalo and Butch Trucks & The Freight Train Band

One of the most dynamic and determined bands continuously touring America since 1989, Donna the Buffalo has created a community environment at their shows through their distinctive, groove-heavy and danceable music. Donna the Buffalo is a band for the people that is accessible, positive, and memorable. With roots in old time fiddle music that evolved into a soulful electric American mix infused with elements of Cajun/zydeco, rock, folk, reggae and country, Donna’ s music often contains social and moral responsibility as core belifes, and they are just simply fun to get out and celebrate life with. Tickets go on-sale Friday, Sept. 23 at 10am:$28.50 – Advanced General Admission Standing Room Only$31.50 – Day of Show General Admission Standing Room OnlyDoors 7:00p.m. / Show 8:00p.m. Donna the Buffalo just passed the marker as their 25th year as a band and have proven to be a true purveyor of American music. What’s the recipe? To be sure, it’s infused with more spices than you’ll find at a Cajun cookout by way of a southern-fried, rockin’ country old-time jamboree. “For the dizzying array of styles and genres with which they work, Donna the Buffalo maintain a surprising level of consistency… over the course of their 25-year career, they retain a sharp focus that has helped them create some truly lasting music…” writes Elmore Magazine. “Few groups are this comfortable as performers, and even fewer would take as many risks.” Donna the Buffalo is Jeb Puryear (vocals, electric guitar) and Tara Nevins (vocals, guitar, fiddle, accordion, scrubboard) joined by David McCracken (Hammond organ, Honer Clavinet and piano), Kyle Spark (bass) and Mark Raudabaugh (drums). “It’s been really fun with this lineup,” Puryear says. “You get to the point where you’re playing on a really high level, things are clicking and it’s like turning on the key to a really good car. It just goes.” Butch Trucks and the Freight Train Band were formed one year ago but are already receiving rave reviews for their fantastic live shows from their four tours of the United States. Founding member of The Allman Brothers Band, drummer Butch Trucks is joined on stage by world renowned blues guitar slinger Damon Fowler, who brings his highly acclaimed playing and unique vocals to the Freight Train stage and music. Damon has recently released his fifth full length album, Sounds of Home, to the delight of worldwide audiences. Keyboard master, Bruce Katz, who has appeared on over 72 albums, joins The Freight Train directly from his recent touring duties with The Gregg Allman Band. Florida-based percussionist Garrett Dawson of The Dickey Betts Band adds his unique percussion style and rhythms to the musical mix. The newest addition to the band is renowned blues hall of famer, guitarist Chris Vitarello. Chris has performed with iconic musicians Bernard Purdie, John Hammond and Jimmy McGriff to name just a few. Rounding out the band is the young and very talented Heather Gillis, whose vocals, guitar playing, and performance tie together this amazing representation of the past, present and future of Roots Rock and the Blues.
