After a meteoric rise in 2025, the Montana-born indie-folk duo Buffalo Traffic Jam is entering the new year as one of the most significant emerging voices in the country-folk scene. Following the massive success of their EP Take Me Home, the band has been flagged by Holler Country as a top artist to watch in 2026, landing the #9 spot on their prestigious "New Artists" list.
A Year of Viral Success and Critical Acclaim
Formed by Frankie Cassidy and Nathan Ross during their time at Montana State University, Buffalo Traffic Jam has transitioned from dorm room sessions to global stages with startling speed. Their standout single "Fool’s Gold" has already surpassed 17 million streams, contributing to a staggering catalog total of over 56 million worldwide.
The industry has taken note: HITS Daily Double featured them in their New and Developing showcase, while Amazon Music included them in their Best of 2025: Folk collection. Their sound has also conquered the airwaves, with significant play on Chicago’s WXRT and New York’s WFUV, alongside being "Spectrum Certified" by Sirius XM.
The Sold-Out "Take Me Home" Tour
The duo’s ability to capture raw vulnerability has translated into massive ticket demand. Their debut headline Take Me Home Tour—set to kick off in Minneapolis on February 24—almost entirely sold out within minutes of going on sale.
The extensive North American run will hit legendary rooms like Nashville’s Basement East and New York’s Mercury Lounge before heading across the Atlantic in June. The European leg will see the band performing in Berlin, Dublin, and London, with several UK dates already boasting "Sold Out" status.
Looking Toward a Massive 2026
Building on 2025 festival appearances at Under the Big Sky and Red West, the duo has confirmed a career-defining set at Bonnaroo 2026. Whether they are supporting the Turnpike Troubadours or headlining their own intimate sets, Buffalo Traffic Jam continues to prove Her Campus’s recent declaration: their music lingers long after the final note, offering a bittersweet blend of longing, joy, and heartbreak.
