April Smith, and her band, The Great Picture Show found critical acclaim in 2010 after winning A Prairie Home Companion’s Battle of the Bands. Her top single Colors was an NPR Song Of The Day and won Best Pop/Rock Song at the 8th Annual Independent Music Awards. Her tongue-in-cheek confessional Terrible Things was featured in the hit series Weeds and Dancing with the Stars.

April and The Great Picture Show have played Lollapalooza, Summer Stage and The Newport Folk Festival, and been featured in The New York Post, Paste and Esquire. Songs for a Sinking Ship was on Amazon “best-of” list, and was a top 5 record on iTunes.

April is currently working on a musical and has recently launched a new podcast, Haunts of Montclair.
