[ROCK] The name might have you assuming this is an indie-pop outfit, but Donna the Buffalo have been delivering a tasty blend of roots music since forming outside Ithaca in 1989. Along the way they’ve recorded with Jim Lauderdale and Bela Fleck, while vocalist Tara Nevins toured in Grateful Dead drummer Bill Kreutzmann’s band BK3 back in 2009. It’s the skilled blend of folk, country, and rock, infused with elements of Cajun/Zydeco music and flourishes of reggae that make this five-piece a consistent festival draw. That, and the chemistry that comes from 25 years of touring together. They’re at Buffalo Iron Works on Saturday, January 30 with City of the Sun.
