The White Buffalo Biography

Jake Smith, widely recognized by his stage name "The White Buffalo," embodies the essence of Americana music with his raw, emotive storytelling and soul-stirring melodies. Influenced by folk musicians like Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen, Smith discovered his passion for music at a young age, drawing inspiration from the rich tapestry of American folk, country, and blues.

Smith's musical journey began with humble origins, playing in small venues and honing his craft while working odd jobs to make ends meet. His early experiences instilled in him a deep appreciation for the struggles and triumphs of everyday life, themes that would later define his songwriting.

In 2002, Smith adopted the moniker "The White Buffalo," a name that pays homage to the revered symbol of strength and spirituality in Native American culture. Under this pseudonym, he found his voice as a storyteller, crafting poignant narratives that resonate with audiences across the globe.

Smith has released a series of critically acclaimed albums, including "Hogtied Revisited", "Once Upon a Time in the West," and "Love and the Death of Damnation." His eighth album, "Year of the Dark Horse" was released in 2022. Smith's music delves into the complexities of human existence, exploring themes of love, loss, redemption, and the pursuit of authenticity, and have been featured in popular television series and films, such as "Sons of Anarchy," "Californication," "The Punisher," "Longmire," "This Is Us," as well as the surfing movie, "Shelter."
