Caravan of Thieves

February 12, 2016 @ 8:00 pm - 11:55 pm

Fuzz and Carrie Sangiovanni, the fervent musical couple who front their band, Caravan of Thieves, have traveled a fruitful yet challenging road since they met in late 2003. But over the years each new turn has brought them closer to their vision for what life, love and art should be in their world and how it relates to the people around them.

Inspired by the big band swing era, the Quintette du Hot Club de France, Romanticism, musical theater and early American folk music, Caravan of Thieves quickly took shape in the hearts and minds of Fuzz and Carrie and subsequently established a need for them to extend their musical clan. In early 2008, they wrote a handful of songs in this new style and began to fill out their sound with upright bass, violin, an occasional accordion and any other willing participant they could recruit along the way. Caravan of Thieves was born.

According to Fuzz and Carrie, “We are always attempting to write that song that was mistakenly left out of the book of standards. But the challenge for us lies in covering topics that most listeners can relate to while taking them to the edges of their imaginations by both lyrically and musically using as many vibrant images as we can to illustrate the story.”
