Donna The Buffalo returns to Tampa’s Skipper’s Smokehouse for two nights of New Year’s Eve concerts

Back again for another year-ending groovy tradition, grassroots jam band Donna the Buffalo will play two Tampa NYE celebration shows to ring in 2023.

This year, the New York-based group will once again rally the “Herd” at Skipper’s.

Tickets to see Donna the Buffalo plays two New Year’s concerts at Skipper’s Smokehouse in Tampa, Saturday-Sunday, Dec. 30 & 31 at 8 p.m. are on sale now and start at $30.

New Year’s Eve admission price will get you party favors, a midnight champagne toast and a breakfast buffet to soak up your alcohol and woes of 2022.

One of the founders and host bands of the annual Finger Lakes GrassRoots Festival of Music and Dance, Donna the Buffalo is known for its Grateful Dead-inspired jam style and cross-generation dedicated fan base. And, of course, this Tampa Bay NYE tradition.

The New York-based jam band is no stranger to Tampa Bay’s music scene or Skipper’s Smokehouse itself, and has played multiple shows with local acts like Have Gun, Will Travel over the past few years.
