Caravan of Thieves heads to Voices Cafe Saturday
Voices CafeOn Saturday evening April 9th, at 8:00pm, the zany group that is Caravan of Thieves brings their magic to Voices Café, with mesmerizing vocal harmonies and dazzling performance, in person and live streamed. Voices Café is located at The Unitarian Church in Westport, 10 Lyons Plains Road, Westport. Doors open at 7:30. For tickets go to voicescafe.org.
According to Fuzz and Carrie Sangiovanni, the musical team who front Caravan of Thieves: “We’re driven to consistently entertain our audience, which lends to building a community of listeners who can be involved in our show and our creative process in some way... This allows our band and our music to be alive, to have a soul.”
Fuzz and Carrie on vocals and acoustic guitars along with Dan Foster on violin and Westport native Dan Asher playing bass, bring driving gypsy jazz rhythms that lay a foundation for spellbinding harmonies and fantastic stories. It's theatrical, humorous and intense. An evening with Caravan simply defies classification, and music loving fans may feel compelled to join the band in momentary fits of claps, snaps and sing-alongs.
Originally inspired by the big band swing era, the Quintette du Hot Club de France, and early American folk music, Caravan of Thieves began to gain recognition for their distinctive musical vision. By the end of their first year Caravan released its debut full-length album, Bouquet (2009), and shared stages with a variety of artists such as Emmylou Harris, Dan Hicks, The Decemberists, Keb Mo, Tom Tom Club, Punch Brothers, and many others.
Fuzz and Carrie have found a comfortable stride, embracing their roles as show and album producers, songwriters and arrangers, released Mischief Night (2010), The Funhouse (2012) and Kiss Kiss (2015), and continued building on their concept with each subsequent tour. They’ve been welcomed by fans (affectionately known as “freaks” on the Caravan scene) throughout the US and UK, made a few music videos, and continue to grow a devoted audience.
The recharged Caravan are back on the road for a Spring tour with a few select dates. Just recently one fan said “can’t wait for you to come back to our area again!”. They are thrilled to be back in the area, now at Voices Café! As entertainment it defies classification… these artists are not to be missed! www.CaravanofThieves.com
