Stone Soup Coffeehouse Presents Gandalph Murphy and the Slambovian Circus of Dreams September 27, 2008

Formed in Sleepy Hollow, New York in the late 90s, Gandalf Murphy & the Slambovian Circus of Dreams is one of the best known and loved bands in their home state, singled out as Hudson Valley Magazine’s “Band of the Year” for the past 3 years. On stage they create an enchanting atmosphere, using traditional folk instruments, tasty electric guitar and the distinctive singing and songwriting of Joziah Longo. Citing influences as diverse as Hank Williams, Dylan, Bowie, Incredible String Band and early Pink Floyd, Longo describes the band’s music as “punk-classical-hillbilly-Floyd”, a mental rollercoaster of whimsical, thought-provoking songs.

The Circus’ live shows are where the real magic comes down, earning them critical acclaim as well as a fiercely loyal following.
