RFH 2010, HamilTunes

Thu, Feb 18, 2010

An eclectic band its frontman likens to hillbilly Pink Floyd will be at The Barge Canal Coffee Company at 8 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 27.

Gandalf Murphy and the Slambovian Circus of Dreams returns for what has become an annual stand at the Barge. (And, no, there is no Gandalf Murphy in the band, nor is there a country named Slambovia on the map.)

The band, which hails from the mid-Hudson Valley, includes:

+ Joziah Longo - vocals, acoustic guitar, harmonica

+ Tink Lloyd - accordion, cello, Theremin, piccolo, vocals

+ Sharkey McEwen - electric guitars, mandolin, backing vocals

+ Tony Zuzulo - drums, percussion

+ Orien Longo - bass, backing vocals, keyboards, percussion

The band has released three CDs on its own label:

+ The Great Unravel (2008),

+ Flapjacks from the Sky (2004)

+ and A Good Thief Tips His Hat (1998).

Frontman Joziah Longo describes the band's music as "punk-classical-hillbilly-Floyd".
