Caroline Smith and the Goodnight Sleeps

This week it's Caroline Smith and the Good Night Sleeps recorded in Rapid City on September 21st, 2012. They were the headlining band for the first night of the Americana Festival that took place at the Dahl Arts Center.

Caroline Smith and the Good Night Sleeps come from Minneapolis. Smith started her career as a solo singer-songwriter-guitarist at the 400 Bar in Minneapolis, known for shaping the careers of Elliot Smith, Conor Oberst and Mason Jennings. Caroline Smith and the Good Night Sleeps have released 3 albums and are set to record their 4th album next month. Their music is a mix of folk-pop with a modern indie rock sensibility - but Smith likes to throw an R-and-B twist into things, too. And while Smith is clearly the leader of the trio, the musical friendship amongst them seemed genuine, like they truly enjoy playing together.
