Goodnight, Texas

Goodnight, Texas plays Brighton and Hove on 11 December 2026 at DUST, 77 East Street. Born between San Francisco and Chapel Hill, the band revolves around songwriters Avi Vinocur and Patrick Dyer Wolf and grows live into a tight, road‑tested unit. Their songs draw on American folklore and workaday narratives—trapped coal miners, lovebird bank robbers—carried by close harmonies and a mix of banjo, mandolin and electric guitars that leans from folk roots to rock grit.

On stage, the dynamic shifts without warning: voices gathered around a single mic for unadorned harmonies, then a quick turn into riff‑driven momentum. The interplay is the point—stories first, then the push and pull of acoustic textures and amplified punch. The set digs across their catalogue, from early cuts like A Long Life of Living and Uncle John Farquhar to recent material from How Long Will It Take Them To Die and Signals, with arrangements that leave space for the songs to breathe before they crash back in together.

It’s an Americana core with a restless edge, written far apart, meeting in the middle, and made to be felt in the room.
