Buffalo Traffic Jam is a folk band born in the heart of Bozeman, Montana, where its members, Frankie Cassidy and Nathan Ross, first crossed paths as students at Montana State University. United by a love for storytelling and the raw beauty of acoustic sound, they began crafting music that evokes wide-open landscapes and the emotions that live quietly beneath the surface of everyday life. The result was a self- titled debut EP followed by singles “Rescue Me” and “Forgot Your Roots,” the latter of which saw the band gain their first online momentum, leading to explosive growth in the past 3 months.
Their newest release, the Take Me Home EP, marks a defining moment in Buffalo Traffic Jam’s evolution — showcasing a deeper, more expansive sound while staying grounded in the heartfelt lyricism and raw instrumentals that first won them fans. The project weaves together themes of resilience, nostalgia, and self-discovery, subjects that have become commonplace in the songwriting of Buffalo Traffic Jam. Since its release on October 24, the EP has picked up over 8 million streams across DSP’s.
This year Buffalo Traffic Jam made their festival debuts at Under the Big Sky and Redwest Fest and are currently on tour with country singer-songwriter Dylan Gossett. From dorm room jam sessions to packed venues across the US, Buffalo Traffic Jam has stayed true to their roots.

Buffalo Traffic JamBuffalo Traffic Jam is a folk band born in the heart of Bozeman, Montana, where its members, Frankie Cassidy and Nathan Ross, first crossed paths as students at Montana State University. United by a love for storytelling and the raw beauty of acoustic sound, they began crafting music that evokes wide-open landscapes and the emotions that live quietly beneath the surface of everyday life. The result was a self-titled debut ep followed by singles “Rescue Me” and “Forgot Your Roots;” the latter of which saw the band gain their first bit of online momentum and led to the signing of their very first record deal with Arista Records.
With rich harmonies, stripped-down instrumentation, and vocals that make you feel—whether it's longing, joy, or that bittersweet in-between—Buffalo Traffic Jam creates songs that linger long after the last chord fades. Their music is as much about atmosphere as it is about melody, rooted in folk traditions but carried forward by a modern emotional edge.
2025 has seen the release of two more singles, “Strangers Now” and “Milestone” and will see the band make their festival debuts at both Under the Big Sky and Red West Festival before heading out on tour with rising country singer-songwriter Dylan Gossett. From dorm room jam sessions to packed local venues, Buffalo Traffic Jam stays true to their roots—authenticity, friendship, and the natural beauty that first brought them together in Montana.
