Explore the depths of Americana ‘one trippy tune at a time’ with New York’s Slambovian Circus of Dreams. Voted Chronogram Magazine’s "Best Band of 2022" for their rootsy rockin' psychedelia, the Slambovians' deep connection with audiences and exciting live shows are legendary. Dylan, Bowie, Incredible String Band, Syd Barrett and The Waterboys may flavor the musical mix, but the Slambovians' musicianship and songwriting stand on its own.
Listen Ahead! June's episode of our monthly podcast Turn Up The Volume! features a fascinating interview with Joziah and Tink, as they talk to Nick Coffer about their unique musical journey, eschewing major record deals, while building a reputation as a superb live band. The interview starts at around 1 hour, 1 minute in. Just click on this link to access.
With vocals "soothing and bewitching as a snake oil tonic" the resident shaman of Slambovia, lead singer Joziah Longo, is joined onstage by bandmates Tink Lloyd (accordion, cello, mandolin, flute) and the brilliant guitar-slinging and mandolin- playing skills of Sharkey McEwen - creating a show that 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 elevates this version of Americana to new heights.
