In this special episode, Pete and Mikey Swerves visit the heart of the Finger Lakes music scene to sit down with Tara Nevins, founding member of Donna the Buffalo. Tara shares the story behind the band, the launch of the GrassRoots Festival, and how Culture Camp grew into a four-day gathering of music, dance, food, and togetherness.
We also cover highlights from the 2025 Great Blue Heron Music Festival and the Downtown Ithaca Thursday Night Concert Series.
Whether you're a longtime fan or new to the scene, this episode captures the spirit of community that defines Ithaca's music culture.
