Kent Stage favorite Donna the Buffalo is headed back to this home-away-from-home for another evening of the jammin’ roots music they’ve been putting out for over a quarter of a century.
The band from upstate New York has the folksy communal vibe and the generously eclectic approach to music that attracts hippie jam-band types. Its fans, dubbed The Herd, have been following the band through thick and thin over its 25-year career, flailing its arms and spinning in circles to the band’s hypnotic grooves.
The core of the group is singer-songwriters Jeb Puryear and Tara Nevins — he also plays guitar, she plays an assortment of instruments mostly acoustic instruments, while various bassists, drummers and keyboardists have come and gone. (Unlike the Grateful Dead, none of their keyboardists have died).
The group’s latest album, last year’s Tonight, Tomorrow, and Yesterday, on Sugar Hill Records, was in an old church without running water in the little town of Enfield, New York. The results are as funky, friendly, and in the words of Puryear, “loosey-goosey,” as you might expect.
Tickets are $22.50 in advamce, $26.50 at the door.
