The White Buffalo
Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist, Jake Smith, the Oregon-born baritone now based in Los Angeles, CA, makes music that is as much equal parts country and Americana as it is blues, hard rock, and punk.
His music has grown in stature worldwide, supported by key song placements in the worlds of TV and film (Californication, The Punisher, Waco: American Apocolypse, others), and the Emmy nominated song ‘Come Join the Murder’ on Sons of Anarchy.
He has shared the stage with Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band, Jack Johnson, Ryan Bingham, Ziggy Marley, Grace Potter, Old Crow Medicine Show, and many more.
“Smith has built a career on desperate, strumming acoustics and deep, smokey vocals that became easy to file away, labeled with broad terms like country, folk, and Americana. However, The White Buffalo was never so much a coffeehouse as he was a roadhouse, but like a roadhouse where intellectuals discuss God and war over quarter beer night.” – American Songwriter
