BRATTLEBORO- Twilight Music presents acoustic swing and alt-gypsy-jazz quartet Caravan of Thieves at Hooker-Dunham Theater & Gallery on Saturday, October 23, at 7:30 pm. Fuzz and Carrie Sangiovanni, guitars and 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 the Sangiovannis. The band is currently touring in support of the brand new live CD “Mischief Night.”

Within the 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.

Hooker-Dunham Theater and Gallery is located at 139 Main Street. Tickets for the show are $16 general and $14 students and seniors. For ticket reservations and information, call (802) 254-9276.
