   About April Smith and the Great Picture Show!
Thanks to everyone who donated! We did it!!


THE WORD

Born at the end of disco and the middle of rock n roll, when this one began to cry, god said “Jesus, she’s got lungs.” Her music is like this: combine the dramatic presence of Freddie Mercury, melodic sweetness of Buckley, range and power of Ann Wilson, smoky sarcasm of Tom Waits, and the ornate imagination of Michel Gondry and you’re getting close. Sounds good, we know. We call it vocally-driven-cinemelodic rock (for short).

Instead of making a large purchase of beer to drown my sorrows in I donated all that beer money to you on Kickstarter.  How fantastic is that?

Hey :) Can't wait for the new album, I just pledged and will be eagerly awaiting the updates! Hopefully once you get a tour going (because I know you will - you have like a zillion fans that will want to hear you live again, I'm sure) I'll be able to catch a show or two. Good luck!!
