About this concert
"The cool end of Americana" - Maverick Magazine, UK
“They take the stage by storm!” – NY Times
“Simply one of the finest American bands” – All Music
A rootsy rockin' psychedelica, The Slambovian Circus of Dreams have been expanding the borders of the Americana genre with their fantastic stories and performance since the late
90’s in Sleepy Hollow, New York. Their connection with audiences at shows taps into a greater human-ness and captivates with charismatic band leader Joziah Longo center ring presiding... Joined onstage by bandmates Tink Lloyd (accordion, cello, mandolin, flute) and the guitar-slinging skills of Sharkey McEwen, the Slambovians create a show that is constantly evolving "with a little help from their friends".
2022’s line-up features additional band members RJ MacCarthaigh (bass, keys, sax) and Matthew Abourezk (drums).
Elements of Dylan, Bowie, Incredible String Band, Syd Barrett and The Waterboys flavor the musical mix (Waterboys co-founder Anthony Thistlethwaite is on the band’s new album). Add a good dose of Woodstock-era psychedelia framed in solid songwriting, and you have it.
In support of their new release, A Very Unusual Head, the band has a full tour schedule in 2022 touring here and the UK headlining the Wickham Festival, Fairport’s Cropredy Festival, and more.

It was a truly fantastic night in every respect. This was one of the best performances I have ever seen by this band, and that's after many , many dozens of shows I've seen with them over the past 25 years! I think the venue itself contributed to their powerful performance, providing a historic yet laid-back setting to help them fire on all cylinders. The sound and lighting were all spot on. I'm not sure I've ever been to a Slambovian show where I heard ALL the instruments so clearly. Slambovian shows are magical, and the magic coming out from the venue last night was beyond words. Thanks for an incredible evening all around.
