Montana-born folk duo Buffalo Traffic Jam continue their meteoric rise today with the release of their latest single, “Hanging on Hope.” Out now via Arista Records, the track is a masterclass in unvarnished emotional truth, arriving just as the band is crowned Billboard’s latest Chartbreaker.
A Vulnerable New Anthem
“Hanging on Hope” follows the massive success of their 2025 breakout hit “Fool’s Gold,” which has surpassed 65 million streams and currently sits at No. 3 on the Adult Alternative Airplay chart. The new single opens with Frankie Cassidy’s signature smoky vocals over wistful acoustic guitar, gradually swelling into a rich tapestry of strings and piano.
“‘Hanging on Hope’ is about a last-ditch effort to salvage a relationship that was lost,” Cassidy explains. “No matter how bad it is, sometimes you just feel like being used is better than being alone.”
The Take Me Home Tour
The duo—comprised of Cassidy and Nathan Ross—are currently in the midst of their inaugural headline run, the Take Me Home Tour. Demonstrating the band's explosive popularity, every single date on the tour is already sold out, including two highly anticipated nights at the Troubadour in West Hollywood.
