Attend A Virtual Concert with The White Buffalo at The Belly Up Tavern June 14th

Alt-Country and Folk pioneer The White Buffalo (aka Jake Smith) held a successful paid, virtual concert on April 5th, and now has announced a second one concert in partnership with Cadenza.tv for June 14th, 2020 with the famous Belly Up Tavern in Solano Beach, CA as a venue. 

Jake Smith explains:

“Christopher, Matt, and I were really humbled by the success of the first live stream in April. It was pretty amazing to see our whole global fan community come together in that way, especially during such a tough time for the world. We wanted to up the stakes for number two, so it only made sense to do it at one of our all-time favorite venues, the legendary Belly Up Tavern!” 

This stream will be an all-request show where the fans will be 100% involved in selecting the setlist. Fans can purchase tickets to the event right here.

Not only is this virtual concert a way for fans to engage with The White Buffalo, but it also really helps out venues, which have been hard-hit by COVID.

Chris Goldsmith of The Belly Up Tavern explains:

"The White Buffalo is one of our most treasured artists. He has a legacy of incredible live shows here at the Belly Up and we’re excited to show the world how well his artistry and our venue work together. Its inspiring to me that artists like Jake are willing to put in the effort to give their fans a true concert performance at a time like this, with professional sound and lights, on a real stage, and it also helps support live venues like ours at a time when we really need it.”  

After fans purchase a pass, they will be able to request songs within the exclusive “Song Requests” section of the event page. Fans should first check to see if a song they want to request has already been requested, and if so, upvote it instead of typing it in. If a song has not yet been requested, anybody can type it in for other fans to upvote. There will be a 5 song submission limit. The most upvoted songs will create the setlist.

The White Buffalo recently released his seventh studio album On The Widow’s Walk, produced by Shooter Jennings.

Smith has also been using time away from the road to bring back his popular acoustic YouTube series, In The Garage, which you should check out.

The Belly Up was opened in Solana Beach, CA, in 1974 with only a couple of mics and no stage. Over the years it became a frequent stop for legends like John Lee Hooker, Etta James, and BB King. Epic performances by Curtis Mayfield, George Clinton, The Neville Brothers and Toots and Maytals also are a part of the club’s early legacy. Since then, many artists have stopped by on their way up the ladder, including No Doubt, Black Eyed Peas, Mumford and Sons, Childish Gambino, and many more. Major artists have done underplays at the venue in recent years, including The Killers, The Red Hot Chili Peppers (who also played the club for 200 people in 1985), Jimmy Buffet, Willie Nelson, Ben Harper, Damian Marley, and Tom Jones. And, perhaps most famously, the Rolling Stones played a private event there in 2015.
