The latest episode of the Cold Beer Surf Club has arrived, featuring host Conner Coffin and special guest Jake Smith, commonly known as The White Buffalo. Jake Smith's career took off after a bootleg tape landed in the hands of professional surfer Chris Malloy, who used Smith's song "Wrong" in the surf movie Shelter. This exposure led to numerous opportunities in film scoring, with Smith's music featured in popular TV series like Sons of Anarchy, Californication, and The Punisher.
In Episode 08, Jake joins Conner Coffin at the World Surf League's HQ to discuss his transformative journey from a division-one baseball player to a professional musician. He shares anecdotes about his surf upbringing, his relationship with the Malloy brothers, and how he transitioned from waiting tables to selling out music venues worldwide. Smith also delves into his creative process, his passion for cooking, and hints at an exciting new film collaboration with 805 Beer, slated to release alongside his latest album this month.
