Donna the Buffalo

Get ready, Bonita Springs—Donna the Buffalo is back! After lighting up stages across the country, this beloved roots rock powerhouse returns to Arts Bonita for a night of pure, unfiltered joy. Bringing their signature blend of folk rock, zydeco, reggae, Cajun, and jam-band grooves, Donna the Buffalo creates a dance party like no other.

Founding members Tara Nevins and Jeb Puryear lead the charge with soulful fiddle, accordion, and searing guitar, building a vibe that’s equal parts festival, family reunion, and foot-stomping celebration.

Critics call them “spirited” and “enjoyable,” but the real story is the connection—on stage and in the crowd. And if you’ve never been part of The Herd (their fiercely loyal fan community), this is your chance to join the movement. Donna the Buffalo’s acclaimed album Positive Friction won the Association for Independent Music Award for Best Rock Album, but it’s their legendary live shows that keep fans coming back for more.
