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.
