The White Buffalo is Jake Smith – American singer, songwriter, guitarist, teller of stories, Emmy nominee; an artist whose voice – a timber-shakin’ baritone of gravitas and gravel – seems directly linked to a greater truth. An artist who will not be swayed by fashion or curtailed by genre.
His working man’s approach to his craft produces an authentic and captivating stage presence, earning him an international and loyal fanbase throughout his extensive career.
Originally released in April 2020, on the cusp of the pandemic, On The Widow’s Walk is the latest and sixth studio outing from The White Buffalo – a collection of dark thrills, with water and the ocean as underlying themes and a sense of longing too.
Produced by Shooter Jennings, Grammy-winning son of Waylon, On The Widow’s Walk is a compelling statement from a unique artist whose songs are consistently mined by the worlds of TV and film. In recent years, The White Buffalo’s music has been used in major US TV shows including Sons of Anarchy and Californication.
A man who proudly describes himself as having ‘no filler or fluff’, The White Buffalo is as real and honest as it gets. You never know what’s going to happen at one of his shows.
