Live Music at Skipper's Smokehouse - Donna the Buffalo

Gather ‘round, all ye faithful of the Herd for an evening filled to bursting with zydeco, jamming, folk-rock, country rock, reggae and bluegrass. The  music of donnathebuffalo.com is often sociopolitical in nature, calling for peace and justice, balanced by other songs that touch on timeless themes such as love, birth and death.

Also with the Beth McKee Trio (www.bethmckee.com). Imagine the female love child of Dusty Springfield and Doug Sahm with Dr. John acting as the midwife and you’ll have an idea of the southern roots music with elements of rock, blues, soul, gospel and country that defines Beth McKee. This songbird-and-more is a Southern singer/songwriter/pianist/accordion player backed by seasoned musicians from outfits like Hall & Oates, Bellamy Brothers, George Porter, Lester Chambers, etc.  In 2010, the self-released I’m That Way displays all those southern roots fusing to formulate her swampy and soulful musical identity.

Donna the Buffalo also playing on December 30 and New Year's Eve. Check separate calendar listings for times and prices.
