Donna The Buffalo

CRITIC’S PICK: Donna the Buffalo, Eddie Owen Presents at Red Clay Music Foundry—Over thirty-five years into their career, Donna the Buffalo is even harder to pigeonhole than when the band broke out of the Upstate New York scene that also birthed 10,000 Maniacs. They revel in their eclecticism, shifting from Cajun to rock, pop, folk, funk, jugband music….all with a rootsy, barefooted, homespun flavor that has endeared them to the contemporary hippie crowd which populate their shows. They are less concerned with recording albums (their most recent was in 2018) than in performing live where their mélange of styles works best. Fun, upbeat, rootsy, unpretentious and always a great time. Kick off your shoes and twirl. — Hal Horowitz
