The White Buffalo

In the organizer's words:

Jake Smith, also known as The White Buffalo, has established himself as a respected country folk musician and songwriter over the past 20 years. His work includes prominent song and soundtrack placements in the world of television and film, including the TV series Sons Of Anarchy, This Is Us, Californication, The Punisher and The Terminal List. His numerous soundtrack contributions to the US cult TV series Sons of Anarchy in particular made him a household name. Above all thanks to the song "Come Join The Murder", which accompanied the series finale and was even nominated for an "Emmy".

NPR's "All Songs Considered" hailed The White Buffalo as an "amazing storyteller", while Classic Rock magazine declared him "America's grittiest country/blues export". The White Buffalo released his most recent studio album "Year of the Dark Horse" in 2022 via Snakefarm, bassist and keyboardist Christopher Hoffee and drummer Matt Lynott accompanied him on the recordings for "Year of the Dark Horse" at Neon Cross Studio in East Nashville and will be back in the live line-up in 2025.

The discography includes eight studio albums, three EPs and a live album, which was released last year in October.

The live album "A Freight Train Through the Night" gave Smith the opportunity to look back on 20 years of musical creation and present crowd favorites and deep cuts in a live setting. "A Freight Train Through the Night" is intended to underline the emotion and passion of the live experience, Smith emphasizes: "What we do live is completely different from studio albums. Pure and raw, no backing tracks, no auto-tune and not perfect, the three of us giving it our all, us in our purest form."

With this classic yet fresh approach, The White Buffalo should be able to delight fans of Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Johnny Cash, Tool, sixties rock'n'roll or the dark noir western sound in Quentin Tarantino films.
