The Guthrie Center presents "The Slambovian Circus of
Dreams - Unplugged" in a rare trio performance by founding
members of the band. Take a peek behind the
"Slambovian Curtain" and experience the creative engine
behind the band in this intimate performance.
The Slambovians' connection with audiences taps into a greater
human-ness. Charismatic frontman, Joziah presides center-ring with vocals
"Soothing and bewitching as a snake oil tonic", joined onstage by founding
bandmates Tink (accordion, cello, mandolin, flute) and the guitar-slinging
skills of Sharkey McEwen, creating a show that constantly evolves.
Exploring the depths of Americana one trippy tune at a time,
elements of Dylan, Bowie, Incredible String Band, Syd Barrett
and The Waterboys flavor the musical mix. (Waterboys co-
founder Anthony Thistlethwaite is featured on A Very Unusual
Head). Woodstock-tinged psychedelia, a hint of southern rock
and solid songwriting elevates this version of Americana to new
Heights.
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)

thought-provoking lyrics for the curious adult mind.”
– Ian Anderson, Jethro Tull
