The Slambovian Circus of Dreams in Concert

The Slambovian Circus
of Dreams Comes to Town

 The Acoustic Café in Park Ridge, NJ
Saturday, April 26

 Formed in Sleepy
Hollow, New York over a decade ago, The Slambovian Circus of Dreams (AKA The
Grand Slambovians) pioneered the alt-folk/americana genre, staying on the
fringes of the music industry and under the radar while producing several
critically acclaimed studio albums.  ‘A Box of Everything,’ the band’s new
release, is a compilation of the ‘Greatest Hits’ you’ve never heard from this
reclusive band.

Their melodic
avant-folk conjures a quirkier Tom Petty or fuller Buffalo Tom with an exotic
instrumental arsenal. If you like Dylan, Bowie, The Decemberists, you’ll find a
lot to love about this band which features an otherworldly slide mandolin,
accordion, cello and styles ranging from dusty Americana ballads to Pink
Floydesque cinematic anthems.  Headlining major music festivals and venues
across the US, Canada and UK, they built their career from
the ground up with a loyal fan base supporting them all the way.

  Fronted by songwriter Joziah Longo
(vocals/guitar/harmonica) the band 
features guitarist/mandolin player Sharkey McEwen (think lovechild of
David Gilmour and Duane Allman); multi-instrumentalist Tink Lloyd (accordion,
cello, uke, theremin, melodica); and Eric Puente (Percussion).
