The Slambovian Circus of Dreams at The Flying Monkey Movie House & Performance Center

Explore the depths of Americana “one trippy tune at a time” with New York’s Slambovian Circus of Dreams. Voted “Best Band” by NY’s Chronogram Magazine for their rootsy, rockin’ psychedelia and fantastic stories and songs, the Slambovians’ deep connection with audiences and exciting live shows are legendary. Woodstock-tinged Americana blends a cool mix of southern rock, Celtic and British folk combined with solid songwriting – a slice of Americana pie that is irresistible! Influences of Dylan, Bowie, Syd Barrett, Tom Petty, and The Band are there, yet the Slambovians’ musicianship and critically acclaimed songwriting stand on their own. Joziah Longo (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). The band’s last release, “A Very Unusual Head” is considered to be “their finest work to date” (Rock’n’Reel Magazine, UK). “The Cool End of Americana” – Maverick Magazine “They take the stage by storm!” – NY Times “Longo is an awesome songwriter…” – Garth Hudson, The Band “The best band since the Beatles” – Jim Pons, bassist: Frank Zappa, John Lennon “A breath of fresh air in a sometimes stagnant world – especially as a live act – with varied eclectic influences and great musicianship. Plus moustaches, hats and stage presence gild their Interesting and thought-provoking lyrics for the curious adult mind.” –Ian Anderson, Jethro Tull
