Buffalo Traffic Jam just keep moving forward. The Montana folk duo, Frankie Cassidy and Nathan Ross, have announced the Pictures of You Tour, a 23-stop North American headline run launching September 6 in Aspen at Belly Up. The announcement follows the release of the title track and the unveiling of their debut album ‘Pictures of You’, arriving July 31 on Arista Records digitally and on vinyl.
Presale begins Wednesday at 10 am local time. Public on-sale is Friday at 10 am local time.
“Pictures of You” is the album’s emotional centrepiece and an immediate statement. Built from guitar, mandolin, and strings before opening into a full-band sound, the track was inspired by Cassidy sitting with his family after losing his grandmother, sifting through photographs for her funeral. “Each one captures a short, specific moment that shaped who I am,” he says. “They aren’t just songs. They’re polaroids.” That kind of writing doesn’t get manufactured.
The album also includes “Fool’s Gold,” their breakout single now past 95 million streams and a number 3 finish on Billboard’s Adult Alternative Airplay chart, earning the duo Billboard’s March 2026 Chartbreaker title. “Hanging on Hope,” which American Songwriter called “an incredibly listenable mash of styles with country undertones and an indie rock angst,” is on there too, alongside “I Don’t Care” and 11 other tracks that together form a raw, cohesive portrait of memory, loss, and resilience.
The Pictures of You Tour hits Irving Plaza in New York on October 1 and Washington DC’s 9:30 Club on October 2, before heading into Canada with stops in Toronto at Danforth Music Hall and Montreal at Beanfield Theatre. The run closes December 19 at Denver’s Ogden Theatre.
Meanwhile, their current Take Me Home Tour, every date already sold out, continues through the summer with festival appearances at BottleRock Napa Valley, Bonnaroo, and Hinterland Music Festival, plus European headline dates and a full Down Under run in the fall. Support slots with Ole 60, Dylan Gossett, and Goose round out a calendar that barely has room to breathe.
With 4.2 million monthly Spotify listeners and a debut album on the way, Buffalo Traffic Jam are operating at a level that most acts take years to reach. They’ve been at it for less than 2.
