Flying Cat Music presents The Slambovian Circus of Dreams "Unplugged"
Trio show featuring Joziah, Tink, and Sharkey of The Slambovian Circus of Dreams Voted best Hudson Valley band of 2022 by Chronogram Magazine, Slambovian Circus of Dreams will perform in a rare unplugged trio performance by the acclaimed band’s founding members. Charismatic front man Joziah Longo, whose vocals have been described as “bewitching,” will be joined onstage by bandmates Tink Lloyd (accordion, cello, mandolin, flute) and the extraordinary guitar-slinging Sharkey McEwen. Since the late 90’s in Sleepy Hollow, New York, the Slambovian Circus of Dreams, part rootsy, part rocking, part psychedelic, has been captivating audiences with their unique sound and human-connecting lyrics. With elements of Dylan, Bowie, The Incredible String Band and Syd Barrett, the band blends Woodstock-tinged psychedelia, a hint of southern rock, and superb songwriting into their own unique brand of Americana music. Their music has garnered such musician fans as: Garth Hudson (The Band), Dar Williams, Gary Burke (Bob Dylan, Joe Jackson), and Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull). This Hudson Valley band “[takes] the stage by storm,” according to the New York Times, and has been described by All Music as “simply one of the finest American bands.” Come hear them play from their deep catalog and from "A Very Unusual Head," named one of the "Best Albums of 2022" (Rock’n’Reel Magazine, U.K.), before they go off to appear at festivals throughout the U.S., Canada, and Europe. “Longo is an awesome songwriter.” – Garth Hudson, The Band "Great songs and a whole lotta heart" -- Meg Griffin, SiriusXM "They're not just a band. That's like saying the Bible is just a book..." – Fairfield County Weekly https://slambovia.com/

New York’s Slambovian Circus of Dreams has been coloring ‘outside the lines’ of the Americana genre with their fantastic stories and performances since forming 20 years ago in the Hudson Valley of New York. Their Woodstock-tinged psychedelia has a hint of southern rock, celtic and British folk combined with solid songwriting - a slice of Americana pie that is irresistable! Joziah Longo (the resident shaman of Slambovia), leads with vocals described as "soothing and bewitching as a snake oil tonic.” Longtime bandmates Tink Lloyd (accordion, cello, mandolin, flute) and guitarist/mandolin wizard Sharkey McEwen bring their own magic to the Slambovian brew with “a little help from their friends” - RJ McCarty (keys, bass, sax), Bob Torsello (bass), and Matthew Abourezk (drums). Elements of Dylan, Bowie, Incredible String Band, Syd Barrett and The Waterboys flavor the musical mix (Waterboys co-founder Anto Thistlethwaite is featured on their latest album.) A Very Unusual Head’ is described as ”hilariously genius, philosophically cosmic, folk-metal mastery - the title track is a tip of the hat to the ‘irregular head’ of Syd Barrett and the theme of the album was inspired by the ‘outsiders’ of science and art. The album was included in Rock’n’Reel Magazine’s "Best Albums of 2022" and described as 'their finest work to date.' Exploring the depths of Americana with an artful edge, elements of Dylan, Bowie, Incredible String Band, Syd Barrett, and The Waterboys flavor the musical mix.
