*This is a standing show!*
A rootsy rockin’ psychedelica, the Slambovian Circus of Dreams has been expanding the borders of the Americana genre with their fantastic stories and performance since forming in Sleepy Hollow, New York. The band visit The Crescent for the first time in support of their just-released new album, “A Very Unusual Head”.
Their connection with audiences taps into a greater human-ness and captivates. Joined onstage by bandmates Tink Lloyd (accordion, cello, mandolin, flute) and the guitar-slinging skills of Sharkey McEwen, the Slambovians create a show that is constantly evolving “with a little help from their friends”. 2022’s line-up includes RJ MacCarthaigh (bass, keys, sax), and Matthew Abourezk (drums).
Elements of Dylan, Bowie, Incredible String Band, Syd Barrett, and The Waterboys flavor the musical mix (Waterboys founding member Anthony Thistlethwaite appears on the new album). Add a good dose of Woodstock-era psychedelia framed in solid songwriting, and you have it.

STAN the Band, are a Newcastle based four piece that have spent years crafting great chords, melodies, rhythm, and lyrics, into emotional and powerful live shows. The line-up of two guitars, bass, and drums gives the impression of blues/rock/indie/pop, but there is a lot more going on. There’s a new album, LOVE, released during the lockdown, that really throws its arms around you.
