Goodnight, Texas: Rock Band in New York

About Goodnight, Texas

Goodnight, Texas is a group working at the crossroads of rock and pop with roots that show up in their Spotify tags: southern gothic, bluegrass, outlaw country, americana, and country blues. Their name nods to the folk standard “Goodnight, Irene,” first recorded by Lead Belly in 1933, and to the unincorporated community of Goodnight, Texas, linking tradition to geography. In New York City they appear at the Knitting Factory, where their sets tend to favor narrative detail over spectacle. Spotify places them at moderate popularity with a following around 78K.
