Event information

Conventional wisdom says the two frontmen of a band shouldnt live on opposite sides of the United States, but thats never seemed to deter Avi Vinocur and Patrick Dyer Wolf.Goodnight, Texas is a tough-to-define storytelling folk rock band whose strength lies in unexpected sweet spots. Drawing their name from Pat and Avis onetime geographic midpoint (the real town of Goodnight in the State of Texas, a tiny hamlet east of Amarillo directly betwixt San Francisco, CA and Chapel Hill, NC), the five-piece band also exists at the center of its songwriters contrasting styles via a 1913 Gibson A mandolin and a 2015 Danelectro Baritone Guitar, at the crossroads of folk and blues and rock n roll, in a place where dry wit and dark truths meet hope and utmost sincerity.The very top of 2022 brings the bands highly anticipated fourth album How Long Will It Take Them To Die, a dark yet lighthearted shoebox of knick-knacks and newspaper clippings - perhaps reflecting on either the last two years of isolation, or the whole of American history. In true Goodnight, Texas fashion, complex but relatable characters and locations are still featured alongside stories of self-discovery, rowdy behavior and heartbreaking loss, but with a more honed sound. Thanks in part to the creative and performative talents of the permanent lineup Scott Padden (drums, upright bass), Adam Nash (lead guitar, pedal steel, violin) and Chris Sugiura (bass), we hear Goodnight, Texas in a more detailed and developed way. Where past Goodnight, Texas albums have traveled cross-country and throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, this new offering falls on a z-axis somewhere between the aurora borealis and six feet underground.Of the albums first single Hypothermic, singer and co-songwriter Avi Vinocur says:Stories from different corners of the American past can often be dark and heavy. Our bands music has always followed along, telling tales of fiction and non-fiction with sonic landscapes to match. Many of our past songs and albums had taken place in the American South, Northeast, Midwest, and Southwest - but I had written a story in my notebook of a character braving the frigid tundra of Canada by car, north toward the distant U.S. state of Alaska - through hallucinations, paranoia, and exhaustion - to escape something unknown. It matched the sinister sound of this strange heel-thumper I had been working with on guitar - and together they were a perfect pair. Hypothermic is the result - our attempt to tell stories of Americas furthest corner, under a darker headlight, and attempting to sonically capture the heaviness of not only Americas past, but its present.In March 2020, as the world confronted a new indoor reality, two long minutes of the GN,TX mainstay The Railroad found themselves in the intro sequence of the first episode of Netflixs Tiger King, which shattered streaming records with 34 million views in 10 days.
