GREAT PERFORMANCE!
It was my 64th birthday and the band did a cover of The Beatles' "When I'm Sixty-Four" on my behalf. After the performance Josiah and Tink shared birthday cake with my wife and myself.
(My wife had smuggled in a chocolate cake to the Six On The Square coffee shop!)

The Slambovian Circus of Dreams Biography
"Top albums of 2022" – Rock’n’Reel Magazine, UK
"They take the stage by storm!" – NY Times
"Best Band" – Chronogram Magazine, NY
"9 out of 10 - Love at first spin!" – Americana UK
"The cool end of Americana" – Maverick Magazine, UK
"Longo, a god of the rock underworld!" – John Platt, WFUV Radio
NY’s Slambovian Circus of Dreams delivers hints of Woodstock-tinged psychedelia, southern rock, folk and storytelling with powerful live shows, elevating this quirky cousin of Americana to new heights. Voted "Best Band " in their home state of New York by Chronogram Magazine, the Slambovians' connection with audiences taps into a greater human-ness. With vocals "Soothing and bewitching as a snake oil tonic", lead singer Joziah Longo is joined by founding bandmates Tink Lloyd (accordion, cello, mandolin, flute) and the guitar-slinging skills of Sharkey McEwen. Creating a show that constantly evolves "with a little help from their friends”, the current band includes RJ McCarty (bass, keys, sax), Bob Torsello (bass), and Matthew Abourezk (drums).
The band is currently working on their 7th studio album, due out in 2026 on their label, Storm King Records.
SOUNDS LIKE: Exploring the depths of Americana one trippy tune at a time, influences and elements of Dylan, Bowie, The Band, Incredible String Band, Syd Barrett and The Waterboys flavor the musical mix.
Waterboy co-founder, Anthony Thistlethwaite is featured on the band’s latest release, “A Very Unusual Head”, considered "Their finest work to date." - Rock’n’Reel Magazine, UK.
Fans of the band include: Garth Hudson (The Band), Dar Williams, Anthony Thistlethwaite (The Waterboys), Gary Burke (Bob Dylan, Joe Jackson), Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull).
The band is currently working on their 7th studio album, due out in 2026 on their label, Storm King Records.
