About The Show

Explore the depths of Americana “one trippy tune at a time” with New York’s Slambovian Circus of Dreams returning to Avenel PAC with their unique ‘Very Slambovian Christmas’ show! Guaranteed to ‘flip your switch’ and spark the holiday spirit!

Be prepared for Christmas songs with a “Slambovian twist” and rockin’ original holiday tunes for a fun ‘outside the box’ holiday show. The band will charm and disarm you from the first note – a great 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’ deep connection with audiences and exciting live shows are legendary.

This Woodstock-tinged Americana has a hint of southern rock, British folk combined with solid songwriting – a slice of Americana pie that is irresistible! Dylan, Bowie, Syd Barrett, Tom Petty, and The Waterboys can be heard, yet the Slambovians’ musicianship and critically acclaimed songwriting stand on their own.

Joziah (the resident shaman of Slambovia), leads with vocals described as “soothing and bewitching as a snake oil tonic. ” Longtime bandmates Tink Lloyd (accordion, cello, mandolin, flute) and guitarist/mandolin wizard Sharkey McEwen bring their own magic to the Slambovian brew with “a little help from their friends” – RJ McCarty (keys, bass, sax), Bob Torsello (bass), and Matthew Abourezk (drums).

whole lotta heart” – Meg Griffin, SiriusXM
“Simply one of the finest American bands” – All Music

The Cowsills Acoustic Trio
November 11 2026
The real-life inspiration behind the hit television series The Partridge Family, the Cowsills -- teen siblings Bill, Bob, Barry, John, Susan, and Paul in tandem with mom Barbara -- were one of the biggest pop acts of the late '60s, scoring a series of hits including "The Rain, the Park and Other Things", “Indian Lake, and "Hair". The group's origins lie with Bill and Bob, who as children began their singing careers covering Everly Brothers hits. They soon recruited younger brothers Barry and John to play bass and drums, respectively, and as Beatlemania dawned, the teen foursome began performing live at school dances and church socials throughout their native Newport, RI.
