805 Authentico, musician, and singer-songwriter Jake Smith AKA The White Buffalo swings by WSL HQ to join the Cold Beer Surf Club. Jake discusses his surf upbringing, connections with the Malloy brothers, and transition from playing division one baseball to being a professional musician. He reflects on his starving artist's struggle from living with his parents and waiting tables, to his music being featured in Shelter, Sons of Anarchy and selling out shows across the globe. He explains how he would call restaurants and different venues, playing a song on their voicemail in hopes of getting booked there. He dives deep into his song-writing process, shares untold memories growing up with the Malloys, and his joy for cooking and leftovers. He thrills about the visceral experience of playing sold-out live shows, unorthodox recording practices with producers like Jay Joyce and Shooter Jennings. He reveals how Bob Hurley and Paul Gomez funded his first album and gave him his start, his guitar model with Gibson, and teases his new film with 805 Beer that will coincide with his latest album release in September 2024.
