The Baby Donkey Story

Going to a Baby Donkey concert was always a gamble. Would the full band be there? Would the drummer get arrested onstage mid-show? Would the lead singer be an actual donkey? Just because they started a concert was never a guarantee they'd finish it — and that third-rail energy is exactly what shot them to superstardom. Formed in a Waco, Texas garage by a rotating cast of outlaws, roadies-turned-members, and at least one large farm animal, Baby Donkey became the band you had to see twice: once for the show, once to find out who actually played it.

Years Active 1974–1983
Hometown Waco, Texas
Genre Outlaw Barnyard Rock
Lineup Unconfirmed (rotated between 2 and 29 members per show)
Signature Song "Hee-Haw Hallelujah"
"We never really knew who was in the band. Honestly? Neither did they." — former Baby Donkey roadie

All that's left now is the music and the merch. But if you want to time travel, throw on your Baby Donkey tee, press play, and smell the manure.
