Video: Jeb And Tara, 6/18/11 Knoxville, TN
On Saturday, 6/18/11, Donna the Buffalo played at the Meadow Lark Festival in Knoxville, TN. Earlier that day, Jeb Puryear and Tara Nevins were scheduled to perform a set as a duo for WDVX's Blue Plate Special, which the radio station broadcast live. Unfortunately, impending storms cut the set to just one song; fortunately, Mark "Dababe" Roth had his camcorder rolling, and shares with us a
video of Jeb and Tara playing What Money Cannot Buy (aka I'll Be Gone) on 6/18/11 in Knoxville, TN. Mark has an excellent YouTube channel with tons of videos of DtB and other artists at

For his Midnight Rambles, which take place at Helm's studio in Woodstock, NY, Helm handpicks a very elite group of musicians for intimate performances that draw fans from across the country. Erin Scholze attended this show, and share with us
12 photos of Tara performing on 5/28/11 at the Midnight Ramble in Woodstock, NY. "[Tara] played with The Heartbeats, Carol Elizabeth, and Larry Campbell, and Teresa Williams came out and sang one with her as well," Erin said. "Then Tara came out for the last song of Levon's set with him, Larry, Amy Helm, Teresa, the 5-piece horn section, and the baby grand. She sang The Weight and it was fantastic! It was an amazing event. Team Levon really went out of their way to make everyone there feel welcome and comfortable.
It was truly a spectacular evening!" You can find many more of photos of this gig at
