Twilight Music presents:
Caravan Of Thieves
Date: Feb 19, 2010
Time: 7:30 pm
Twilight Music presents Connecticut-based, acoustic swing and alt gypsy
music quartet, Caravan of Thieves. Fuzz and Carrie Sangiovanni (guitars,
vocals), Ben Dean (violin) and Brian Anderson (acoustic bass) feature a
theatrical high energy stage show, gypsy flavored songwriting, Beatlesque
vocal harmonizing, and driving rhythms - an overall circus of sound.

Caravan of Thieves creates fun yet elegant compositions that embody the
spirit and swing of early gypsy jazz, but with plenty of witty, inventive lyrics
and vocal harmonies to serenade the listener. Fiery violin arrangements,
thumping upright bass, and rhythmic acoustic guitar spanking counteract the
sweet, melodic, harmonious male/female vocals of Fuzz and Carrie.

Fuzz, Carrie, Ben and Brian converge from vastly different backgrounds in
folk, pop, classical, jazz and rock. Fuzz, who has spent the past thirteen
years touring the world with funk and dance groups such as Tom Tom Club
and Deep Banana Blackout, teamed up with Carrie in 2004 to create an
acoustic duo and a full band, Rolla. In early 2008, they recruited Brian, who
had toured previously in his experimental jazz trio, Raisin Hill, as well as Ben,
who had studied jazz and classical violin since an early age.

Within their first year together, Caravan of Thieves performed in premiere
venues around the country with world renowned artists such as Dan Hicks,
Tony Trischka, Tom Tom Club, Menudo, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Trout Fishing
in America and Ryan Montbleau Band. Caravan successfully connected with
audiences on each of these diverse bills, proving their music to be a hit with
folk, pop, rock and jazz appreciators alike as well as all age groups. Some
notable Caravan of Thieves appearances include the Philly Folk Festival,
Clearwater Festival, Gathering of the Vibes Festival, CMJ Music Marathon NYC,
Club Passim, Joe’s Pub and World Café Live.

Also in that first year and in a fit of creativity, the group wrote, recorded and
released their debut full length album, Bouquet, featuring 12 original
compositions. To accompany this collection of dramatic and comical short
stories, they built an interactive stage set of percussive junk which delivers
audiences directly into the wild, imaginative minds of Fuzz and Carrie and the
Caravan of Thieves.

“Caravan of Thieves is too charming, too wry, and just too damn good to fly
under anyone’s radar” - Metro Spirit
