The White Buffalo is the stage name of American singer-songwriter Jake Smith, an artist known for his rich, resonant voice and narrative-driven music that blends elements of folk, country, rock, and blues. Smith's persona as The White Buffalo conjures imagery of the American wilderness, a sense of freedom, and the untamed spirit of the West. His music frequently captures themes of love, loss, and redemption, creating a tapestry of the American experience through a deeply personal lens.

Since his first album release in 2002, The White Buffalo has steadily gained a dedicated following, with a discography that showcases his versatility and storytelling prowess.
