SELLERSVILLE, PA — Music enthusiasts seeking an unforgettable live experience will find their calling when the Slambovian Circus of Dreams takes the stage at Sellersville Theater on Sunday, July 20, at 8 p.m. Known for their vibrant blend of psychedelia, folk, and rock, the band promises an evening rich in spectacle and sonic exploration.
Since their first appearance at Sellersville in 2006, the Slambovians have cultivated a devoted following drawn to their imaginative soundscapes and immersive performances. Hailing from upstate New York and widely regarded as the region’s premier band, they have built a reputation for delivering shows that transcend traditional genre boundaries.
Led by charismatic frontman Joziah Longo — described by WFUV’s John Platt as “a god of the rock underworld” — the ensemble conjures what can only be described as a traveling Americana séance. Their musical alchemy fuses echoes of Dylan, Bowie, Syd Barrett, and Tom Petty, producing a sound at once familiar and wholly original.
Joining Longo are founding members Tink Lloyd, a versatile multi-instrumentalist, and Sharkey McEwen, a master of guitar and mandolin. Their synergy is further enriched by RJ McCarty on keys and banjo, Bob Torsello on bass, and Matthew Abourezk on drums. The result is a swirling tapestry of accordion, slide guitar, and unexpected instrumentation that keeps audiences riveted.
This midsummer performance will feature the group’s special festival set list, weaving together new material described as “groovacious” alongside beloved classics. The Slambovians’ music channels the freedom of Woodstock-era psychedelia, the earnest storytelling of Americana, and the electrifying pulse of rock — all delivered with a theatrical flair.
Critics have not been shy in their praise. The New York Times observed that they “take the stage by storm,” while SiriusXM’s Meg Griffin lauded their “great songs and a whole lotta heart.” Garth Hudson of The Band simply declared Longo “an awesome songwriter,” a sentiment echoed by countless fans and fellow musicians alike.
For listeners seeking authenticity, inventiveness, and a touch of mysticism in their live music, the Slambovian Circus of Dreams offers an experience that is both deeply moving and wildly entertaining. Their return to Sellersville promises to be more than a concert — it is a communal celebration of sound, spirit, and imagination.
Tickets are on sale now for what promises to be one of the summer’s most memorable evenings. Doors open at 7 p.m., with the show beginning at 8 p.m. at Sellersville Theater, 24 W Temple Ave, Sellersville, PA.
