Explore the depths of Americana "one trippy tune at a time" with New York’s Slambovian Circus of Dreams. Voted "Best Band of 2022" by Chronogram Magazine for their rootsy, rockin’ psychedelia, the Slambovians have a deep connection with audiences, and their legendary live shows are a testament to this. While the musical influences of Dylan, Bowie, Incredible String Band, Syd Barrett, and The Waterboys can be heard, the Slambovians' musicianship and songwriting stand on their own. Lead singer Joziah Longo, the resident shaman of Slambovia, enchants with vocals described as "soothing and bewitching as a snake oil tonic." Onstage, he is joined by bandmates Tink Lloyd (accordion, cello, mandolin, flute) and the brilliant guitar-slinger and mandolin player, Sharkey McEwen. The show constantly evolves "with a little help from their friends": RJ McCarty (keys, bass, sax), Bob Torsello (bass), and Matthew Abourezk (drums).
Woodstock-tinged psychedelia, a hint of southern rock, and solid songwriting elevate this version of Americana to new heights.
The band's latest studio release, "A Very Unusual Head," is considered "their finest work to date" by Rock’n’Reel Magazine, UK. Anthony Thistlethwaite of The Waterboys is featured on "A Very Unusual Head," and singer-songwriter Dar Williams, who also covers the Slambovians’ “Sullivan Lane” on her latest album.
