Also performing are good friends The Believers; duo Cyd Frazzini (acoustic guitar) and Craig Aspen (mandolin, electric guitar and harmonica) have supported DtB during the fall West Coast tour and a plethora of shows since. The two bands have clearly created a mutual-admiration society, with Aspen calling the headliners “our favorite band in the world.” Also expect other special guests to be announced soon.

Donna the Buffalo’s had a successful year thus far; Tara Nevins and Jeb Puryear have, after all these years, started playing shows as a duo and the herd is lovin’ it. Nevins. has toured with Bill Kreutzman’s BK3; the band’s recorded a few new songs including one with Jim Lauderdale. They’ll be closing out the Year with a New Year Eve Celebration at the Loveless Barn in Nashville.

On the horizon for the new year you can expect more new music to be recorded, many more collaborations, a new solo album from Tara Nevins in March, shows with Little Feat, and also 2010 marks the 20 year anniversary of the GrassRoots Festival which they started in Ithaca, NY.
