The Centers for the Arts Bonita Springs announces that Donna the Buffalo will be performing live at the Performing Arts Center, Hinman Auditorium on Bonita Beach Road for the first time on June 8 at 7:30 p.m. The band is known for its unique mash-up of country, rock ‘n’ roll, zydeco, and reggae music, and their live shows are legendary for high energy and infectious spirit.

Donna the Buffalo’s special stage presence and groovy tunes have the power to get people dancing, like their devoted festivalgoers and super-fans, who call themselves ‘The Herd.’ Their music has been described as “rootsy, soulful, and refreshingly eclectic” and their live shows are a celebration of community and joy. The band has released more than 10 albums throughout their career, and their music has been featured in television shows and films.

“We are thrilled to bring Donna the Buffalo to Bonita Springs for the first time,” said Christine Elzinga, Marketing Director of Centers for the Arts Bonita Springs. “Their music has stood the test of time, and we are very excited to present them to our community.”

Donna the Buffalo has played at major music festivals like Bonnaroo, New Orleans Jazz Fest, and Newport Folk Festival, and they’ve opened for The Dead and have toured with Peter Rowan, Del McCoury, Los Lobos, Little Feat, Jim Lauderdale, Rusted Root, and Railroad Earth to name a few. In 2018, they were inducted into the New York State Music Hall of Fame, and their music has been recognized as an essential part of the Americana genre.

Tickets for the show are available now and are priced at $35, $30, and $25. Tickets can be purchased online at artcenterbonita.org, by phone at 239-495-8989, or in person. For more information, please visit artcenterbonita.org/.
