"Donna the Buffalo," Spire Center for Performing Arts, Plymouth, Massachusetts, USA



Once again, it's live music time at the Spire Center for Performing Arts in downtown Plymouth. It is  an outstanding venue with great lighting, audio, and presence in addition to an excellent full-time staff supplemented with volunteers. The 225-seat Spire is definitely making a successful go of it in "America's Hometown" with outstanding live performers all year around. The not-for-profit organization is bringing (and has since 2010) a heightened level and frequency of excellent music to our hometown.



Right away, the name caught my attention. When I first heard it, I thought it was "Dawn of the Buffalo," which somehow seemed to make sense as band names go but, "Donna the Buffalo?" Not so much.



Whatever the name, it's always a good sign when the band has the audience on their feet and spontaneously dancing in the aisles!



Wikipedia says, "Donna the Buffalo is a band from Trumansburg, New York. They play both originals (primarily written by Jeb Puryear and Tara Nevins) and covers. The band name was suggested as "Dawn of the Buffalo" by a musician friend of the band; it was misheard as "Donna the Buffalo", and over twenty years later they are still "Donna the Buffalo". The followers of the group are called The Herd, a self-organized "tribe" of people who found each other at the group's live events."



They provided another great evening of entertainment at the Spire!

Come out and support live performing arts in our hometown. Check their upcoming events calendar at this link.
