Caravan of Thieves (Heather Maloney opens)

We are pleased to welcome back two acts who took our stage by storm. Caravan of Thieves brings a touch of vaudeville, over-the-top theatricality, performance art and an all-but-the-kitchen sink collection of percussion utensils (and a hubcap) to their brand of gypsy swing music. Think Three Stooges with a sexy sidekick and musical skills.  ¶  Heather Maloney opens the show. She is touring in support of her second album, Time & Pocket Change. As a new songwriter, there is already an abundance of press response, calling her lyrics “terrific,” “poignant,” and “powerful.”

 

  • On top of being musically interesting, Caravan of Thieves has arranged their songs to carry a number of unexpected twists: full-band shouts, ridiculous pseudo-advertisements, comic digressions, and flashy solos, none of which ever felt gimmicky or contrived.  Hartford Advocate


  • This zany group brings a touch of vaudeville, over-the-top theatricality, performance art and an all-but-the-kitchen sink collection of percussion utensils (and a hubcap) to their brand of gypsy swing music . . . those wild and crazy guys (and gal) turned out to be the most pleasant surprise of the day.  Huffington Post
