PLAYING IN THE BAND
Tara Nevins, the multi-instrumentalist with the beautiful singing voice who co-founded Donna the Buffalo, took little side trip with Bill Kreutzmann‘s trio a few months ago and came away from the experience with a deeper regard for the music we all love so much. I was honored to join Donna the Buffalo onstage twice this fall – at Shakori Hills and again at MagnoliaFest – and among the songs we performed together was the great ballad “Fennario,” also known as “Pretty Peggy-O,” which Tara performed while on tour with BK3.
