New Photos: Halloween 2021 at Levon Helm Studios


On 10.31.21, Donna the Buffalo returned the the venerable Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock, NY for a special early gig on Halloween. The show started at 7:15 and the band ripped through a nonstop 2.5-hour set filled with favorites like Family Picture, Funkyside, and No Place Like the Right Time, as well as a few surprises. Keyboardist David McCracken wore a skeleton costume for the entire show, and played what was presumably the studio's grand piano. Yonder was a thundering highlight; after they finished this tune, I said to Renee "They played that song like it was brand new and they were excited to see where they could take it," to which she replied "To me it sounds like they have been playing it for 30 years and were showing that they can take that song wherever they want." There was plenty of stage banter, with Tara telling a story about the song "Stole My Monkey" and a stuffed monkey that accompanied the band for while, and Jeb relating a tale about how he realized sense of humor was genetic when he made a comment and his son Jonas was the only one who laughed. The night ended with a beautiful "I Believe" encore performed as a duet, with Jeb on acoustic guitar and Tara on a different fiddle (not the pink one). Check out a few of my photos from this show, and a 30-second video clip of David and Jeb during God's Love. BTW, if you are ever in Woodstock on Halloween, don't miss the parade.

It's 2021--is anyone still visiting this website?

After an approximately 8-year hiatus, I am toying with the idea of starting to post new content to DonnaFans.com. But that brings up the question: Is anyone still here? The metrics suggest "yes" but there's no way to tell if that's, you know, actually humans visiting the site, preferably ones that are fans of Donna the Buffalo. Are you there? Who are you? Do you want to see new stuff here, or have the band's and Herd's facebook pages made this place unnecessary? Let me know: fans@donnafans.com. Note: I have left this site up, and will continue to do so, as an archive, because it contains many great photos and memories of Donna the Buffalo's history.
