Get down to Grassroots.
In 1990, Donna the Buffalo — a cajun, rock, folk, reggae, and country fusion crew — invited friends, fellow bands, and followers to Ithaca, New York, for the inaugural Finger Lakes Grassroots Festival. And over the last quarter century, the movement’s given birth to two sister fests, North Carolina’s Shakori Hills Grassroots and South Florida’s Virginia Key Grassroots.
Come March, the Miami getdown will celebrate its fourth year on the sandy shores of Virginia Key Beach Park. And today, Donna the Buffalo and the Grassroots crew announced their 2015 lineup.
Just check the cut for the full 52-act roster.
