The White Buffalo has shared a new track, "Robbery", a gritty outlaw tale delivered via songwriter Jake Smith's rugged, resounding vocals and punctuated by the bluesy swagger of his guitar. The track is currently streaming on Guitar World, and will be featured on Smith's upcoming album Darkest Darks, Lightest Lights. Guitar World calls the new record "his most expansive effort yet, showing Smith dabbling in new sounds and ideas." Darkest Darks, Lightest Lights will be released on October 6th via Unison Music Group / Thirty Tigers.

The White Buffalo also recently released the single "Avalaon" via Billboard.com, as well as the song "The Observatory", which premiered on Rolling Stone Country. Rolling Stone writes, "There's something ancient about Jake Smith's voice... it's the perfect instrument with which to ponder the secrets of the universe or the ties that bind his fellow humans, which is just what Smith does on the newest White Buffalo track, 'The Observatory.'"

Known as The White Buffalo, songwriter Jake Smith has resolutely charted his own single-minded musical course for more than a decade. His captivating live presence and workingman's approach to his craft has earned him a loyal fan base nationwide, as well as glowing reviews from press outlets including Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, Paste, and more. Smith has toured alongside Ryan Bingham, Jack Johnson, Xavier Rudd, State Radio, Ziggy Marley, and most recently Flogging Molly. He has also been featured on Jimmy Kimmel Live - watch his performance HERE.

Over the course of five albums, various EPs, and numerous prominent placements in such high-profile outlets as TV's Sons of Anarchy and Californication, Smith has built a powerful body of work that marks him as a genuine original. He was nominated for a 2015 Emmy for his song "Come Join The Murder", co-written with Bob Thiele & Kurt Sutter for the final episode of Sons Of Anarchy. The California-bred artist writes timeless, vividly detailed character studies, tapping into the emotional lives of various misfits, outsiders and troubled souls with insight and compassion. His songwriting is matched by his rough-hewn, deeply expressive voice, and by his distinctive instrumental arrangements, which are simultaneously intimate and epic.
