Back in August, April Smith and the band swung by the offices of Daytrotter.com and had a ton of fun laying down a few songs from their upcoming album. Check it out now at Daytrotter.com!

April and her band are featured in the NYPost.com as the #2 Artist to Watch in 2010!

April Smith & The Great Picture Show- The Folky Sass Pot

April Smith is a Jersey gal (not the Snooki kind) who now calls Brooklyn home — neither of which you would guess from her juke-joint cabaret sound.

Adorable, quirky and the owner of a voice that could cure depression, April makes the world a better place. Period. Her fan-funded album “Songs For A Sinking Ship” (out Feb. 23) plays out like a circus pop dream, each track as catchy as the next. Her single “Colors” will make your inner 5-year old start skipping along and maybe even piddle a little.

Drumroll please……

I am delighted and extremely honored to tell you that world-famous photographer and artist extraordinaire Matt Hoyle is the genius behind the album art for “Songs for a Sinking Ship”! Matt took the boys and I back in time for this magnificent image! Then he called on the dynamic duo of Karen Goheen and Mike Tabie of Two Arms Inc to design the packing. Originally, I was going to wait until just before the release to show you all the cover art. But I can’t keep it from you any longer. So here it is!

Remember, you can pre-order the album now and get 2 preview tracks plus a bonus track that will not be on the album. Click HERE to order you copy!

My band and I are gettin’ ready to go on the road with Langhorne Slim in January and February!! Check out the shows page & see if we’re coming to YOU!  We’ll be playing songs from my new album “Songs For A Sinking Ship” coming out on February 23rd which you can pre-order now in my webstore!

Well folks, I’ve been asked by many which tracks will be on the new album. First, I’d like to add that they are ALL NEW RECORDINGS of the songs, so even if you know them, you’ve never heard them sound THIS good. Dan Romer produced the album and we’re all really proud if it. So here they are…

2. Terrible Things
3. Drop Dead Gorgeous
4. Can’t Say No
5. What’ll I Do?
6. Colors
7. Dixie Boy
8. The One That Got Away
9. Beloved
10. Wow and Flutter
11. Stop Wondering

I’m so freakin’ excited because tonight is the season finale of Dexter! Will Dexter get caught? Will Trinity live to kill again? Will Rita kiss another neighbor? Will Deb ever clean up her potty mouth? Will Vince’s laugh always be that goofy?? Is the character of the coffee truck guy going to be further developed?

WHO KNOWS???? Tune in to Showtime tonight for the answers….
