Goodnight, Texas

Parallel 44 Presents GOODNIGHT, TEXAS live in Sisters, Oregon, Saturday, November 14 at The Belfry.

Goodnight, Texas’ last Central Oregon appearance at Sisters Folk Festival was tremendously well received, and their support set for The Brothers Comatose in Bend was pure magic. We’re excited to welcome them back for their own two-set headlining show, and we hope you’ll join us.

About GOODNIGHT, TEXAS:

Goodnight, Texas is a band you’ve heard somewhere. You’re going through their catalog, hearing lyrics about trapped coal miners and lovebird bank robbers. Banjos and mandolins, genre tough to pin down. Their new album “Signals” has some teeth. The first single, “RUNAWAYS,” even features a guest solo from Metallica’s Kirk Hammett. Beyond the memorable riffs, it seems like they’re stretching sonic roots deeper in every direction on Signals, with studio help from Oakland’s Ian and Jay Pellicci (Deerhoof, Tune-Yards). Googling, you find recent features in NME, Rolling Stone, No Depression and Consequence of Sound, and appearances at festivals like Austin City Limits, Red Wing Roots, SXSW, Old Settlers and Beachlife Ranch. They’ve toured with The Dead South, Larkin Poe, Shakey Graves, Trampled by Turtles, The Brothers Comatose, and John Craigie. In 2020, their song “The Railroad” was the opening montage theme for episode one of Tiger King, which had 53 million streams in its first week. Maybe that was where you heard them. Wait a minute- they have 250 million streams across platforms; maybe you heard them in your friend’s car on a cross-country road trip through the real town of Goodnight, Texas- the exact midpoint between songwriters Avi Vinocur and Patrick Dyer Wolf’s homes on each coast.
