About a Buffalo

Buffalo Moses is the voice of Bryan Anthony Jones, a singer-songwriter from the high desert town of Gardnerville, Nevada, raised on equal parts hymns and heartbreak by his grandmother. Infomercials blasting “Moon River” or “Rhapsody in Blue” to sell compilations over the phone were met with deafening volume by fiery sermons on cassette, often in the same room, at the same time. Somewhere in that tension between grace and punishment, scratchers and holy salvation, Buffalo Moses was born.

He sings like he means it. The intimate, yet heavy sound of a man with a microphone coming apart at the seams. Stories of desperation, addiction, violence, and the slow unraveling of love. But even in the darkest corners, there’s a flicker of neon light — a kind of stupid faith that refuses to die. Buffalo Moses makes Fever-Dream Americana for the in-between, where beauty and brokenness share the same skin.

Melodies that make you realize the boogeyman lives inside you, but you’ve been splitting expenses for a while, and kicking him out would feel cruel.
