# Event Details - **Event Name**: The Slambovian Circus of Dreams - **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 02 Sep, 2026 at 07:30 pm – Wed, 02 Sep, 2026 at 10:00 pm (+01:00) - **Event Description**: New York’s Slambovian Circus of Dreams has been coloring ‘outside the lines’ of the Americana genre with their fantastic stories and performances since forming 20 years ago in the Hudson Valley of New York. Their Woodstock-tinged psychedelia has a hint of southern rock, Celtic and British folk combined with solid songwriting - a slice of Americana pie that is irresistIble! June of 2024 the band returned to the UK following a wildly successful 2022 tour headlining Fairport's Cropredy Festival, Wickham Festival and more where they were voted ‘Best Band’ by fans and promoters alike. Playing UK towns and festivals from Lochinvar to Penzance since 2008, the Slambovians’ touring history goes back several years, so they look forward to tour there once again in 2026 to bring goodwill, songs and a bit of magic to new audiences as well as the faithful. Joziah Longo (the 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). Elements of Dylan, Bowie, Incredible String Band, Syd Barrett and The Waterboys flavour the musical mix (Waterboys co-founder Anto Thistlethwaite is featured on their latest album.) Their album A Very Unusual Head was included in Rock’n’Reel Magazine’s ‘Best Albums of 2022 and described as 'their finest work to date.' Exploring the depths of Americana with an artful edge, elements of Dylan, Bowie, Incredible String Band, Syd Barrett, and The Waterboys flavor the musical mix. Fans include: The late Garth Hudson (The Band), Dar Williams, Anthony Thistlethwaite (The Waterboys), Gary Burke (Bob Dylan, Joe Jackson), Ian Anderson ‘They take the stage by storm!’ – NY Times ‘Longo, a god of the rock underworld!’ – John Platt, WFUV Radio, NY ‘The cool end of Americana’ - Maverick Magazine, UK ‘9 out of 10 - Love at first spin!’ – Americana UK ‘They're not just a band.
