Slambovian Circus of Dreams Christmas Spectacular at Avenel PAC

If you missed this enchanting show last December, you won’t want to let it slip by again! Talk to anyone who attended, and you'll quickly realize this is a must-see event. "Like a snowball full of heart and beauty with songs of hope and resistant joy." – Jambase.com

Prepare to dive deep into the world of Americana with New York’s Slambovian Circus of Dreams, returning to Avenel PAC for their unique ‘Very Slambovian Christmas’ show! ✨ Expect a delightful blend of Christmas classics presented with a "Slambovian twist" alongside original holiday tracks that redefine the festive spirit.

The band will enchant you from the very first note, providing a fabulous night out with family and friends to celebrate the holiday season! 🌟 Voted “Best Band” by NY’s Chronogram Magazine for their rootsy, rockin’ psychedelia, the Slambovians are known for their deep audience connection and electrifying live performances.

This Woodstock-tinged Americana weaves in elements of southern rock and British folk, all underpinned by stellar songwriting. You'll find echoes of Dylan, Bowie, Syd Barrett, Tom Petty, and The Waterboys in their sound, yet the Slambovians shine brightly on their own.

Leading the charge is Joziah (the resident shaman of Slambovia), whose vocals are described as “soothing and bewitching as a snake oil tonic.” Joining him are longtime bandmates Tink Lloyd (accordion, cello, mandolin, flute) and guitarist/mandolin wizard Sharkey McEwen. They enrich the Slambovian brew with guest musicians RJ McCarty (keys, bass, sax), Bob Torsello (bass), and Matthew Abourezk (drums).
