Like a massive amount of fellow New Yorkers, Zydeco outfit Donna The Buffalo have a thing for spending New Year\u2019s in Florida. The band has rung in the new year at Tampa\u2019s Skipper\u2019s Smokehouse for the last few years, but takes a different, slightly more intimate approach on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s currently no telling whether Jim Lauderdale will show up for a guest spot, but expect an accordion-drenched career retrospective to kiss 2025\u2019s ass goodbye next week.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the band\u2019s first downtown Clearwater show in a decade, co-founder Tara Nevins told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay about the best gig she ever saw. Read her full quote below.<\/p>\n\n\n

I have seen many incredible concerts so it’s difficult to answer, but one of the most influential concerts was the first time seeing Preston Frank and his family band play Zydeco in Soileau, Louisiana. I came home and immediately bought an accordion, and that started a very important chapter in both mine and\u00a0Donna\u00a0The\u00a0Buffalo’s musical evolution. -Tara Nevins, Donna The Buffalo<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n

Tickets to see Donna The Buffalo play Clearwater\u2019s Bilheimer Capitol Theatre are still available and start at $44.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n
