"Since first crossing the Atlantic in 2008, The Slambovians have quietly built one of the most devoted followings of any American band on UK soil. There's something about that fusion — the deep American roots filtered through a distinctly British folk sensibility — that resonates here in a way few bands manage.
Tour after tour, festival after festival, they've returned — not chasing trends, but nurturing something far more meaningful: a genuine connection. It's why they've been voted Best Band by fans and promoters alike. It's why rooms fill with returning faces. And it's why every show feels less like a gig… and more like a reunion." - Barnoldswick Music & Arts Centre, Peter Barton 2026

 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
