MAY 2023/PAST SHOWS
The weekend of May 12th and 13th we're celebrating Mother Earth and the environment "Slambovian style"!
May 12th @ The Falcon: We're taking time to remember The Falcon's founder, environmentalist Tony Falco, who passed away recently. Also, we'll be celebrating "World Bee Day", so get your BUZZ on with us that night... (May 20 is World Bee Day!!!)
The Falcon show in Marlboro will feature a few “deep tracks” from the past with very special guest, saxophonist Eric Person. Eric joins us to play two of his legendary recordings, “Black for the Gold”(see video above) and “Velvet Underground.” Both songs were recorded but never performed live and feature Eric on soprano sax.*
May 13th - The Return of the Clearwater Festival!
We're performing at Earth Fair 2023 in Kingston, NY with The Clearwater Festival!
Clearwater is in charge of entertainment on the 2 stages on the waterfront in Kingston, by the Maritime Museum.
The return of the festival is highly anticipated - this is the first one since 2019! We are honored to be part of Clearwater's stage alongside these long-time festival friends:
The Mammals
Tom Chapin
Reggie Harris
David and Jacob Bernz
" Shanghai"
"Shanghai" - A Historical Video Project
Happy Lunar New Year! 30 years ago we were the first American band to perform in mainland China since the revolution. "Shanghai" is a special project commemorating that tour.
Historical concert footage from the first Shanghai shows are in this video. Band members Joziah Longo, Sharkey McEwen and Tink Lloyd* performed as The Ancestors.
We felt so connected to the soul of China at that moment and still do. Inviting us to perform was a cautious experiment by Chinese officials, but became a real ice-breaker between our two countries. Shortly after our successful tour, Shanghai became much more open to cultural exchange with the West. The video of "Shanghai" is a mix of new performance and historical footage. The song, "Shanghai" is a memory of those first unforgettable nights. We post this sending much love and best wishes to our family in China for the New Year. "Good Luck Everybody!" Thank you, Shanghai, China, no one can forget... Thank you, Feifei Yang, Chen Fan, and the Chinese Music Ensemble of New York (紐約中國民族樂團) for your appearance in this video. Thanks to Matthew Abourezk for puttting the footage together in such a beautiful way for this historical video.
