April Smith and the Great Picture Show will bring their swinging, juke joint swagger to one of the biggest stages in sports Wednesday, September 8th, when they perform at the 2010 U.S. Open, in Flushing, NY. The Brooklyn-based quintet’s fan- funded album, ‘Songs for a Sinking Ship,’ which came from $13,000 in donations, is causing quite a stir and has lead to singer April’s huge brassy voice being compared to some of the greats. They have also crossed over into the television arena with song “Terrible Things,” already used in promos for Showtime’s hot series ‘Weeds’ and ‘Californication.’ Look out, April is here and she means business. http://www.myspace.com/aprilsmithmusic
