Goodnight, Texas set for return to Sisters

Goodnight, Texas, is a folk duo known for their history-derived storytelling and unplugged 19th century stylings. That sound leads to their music turning up in interesting places, and you may know them better than you think. Their spooky Western tune “The Railroad,” was featured in a cowboys-and-Coors Banquet commercial in 2018 that featured the de rigueur narration of Sam Elliott, and popped up a few years later in the opening of the Netflix hit “Tiger King.” This historic aesthetic made their 2024 album, “Signals,” which was more or less a straight-up rock record, seem like a major departure from the sound heard in songs whose lyrics were often prompted by their own family histories and historic photographs. It had worked, in other words, to the tune of garnering millions of listens on music streaming services. “Signals” was like a high-speed train relative to the steam engine that had long worked for them on previous records.
