Feisty Italian gypsy music featuring vocals, strings, horns, clarinet, accordion, and more. It’s crazy and fun, like the weirdest circus to ever come to town. You’ll peek through the shutters of your window as they pass through town, playing their music. And before you know it, you’ll be part of the parade. I liked every track, each one leads to some sort of surprise. These guys must be fabulous in concert.

*1. Bouncy, midtempo folk tale that’ll get your toes tapping.
*2. Uptempo w/wacky vocals w/a touch of bluegrass. Yow!
3. Whistles and percussion then vocals. Mid/up, a whirling folk dance.
4. Bright, mid/uptempo w/an old fashioned sound & silly vocals.
*5. Midtempo oom-pah w/soaring vocals that get dark & very odd.
*6. Upbeat, driving w/fast vocals and great use of clarinet. Way cool.
*7. Silly good upbeat jam w/children singing and great work fr band.
8. Starts slow, then upbeat Italian cover of “Those Were the Days.”
*9. Slow acoustic guitar, vocals intro then midtempo and weird.
10. An old-fashioned waltz w/dark hints and a sense of sadness.
11. Bright bounce, male/fem vox, great energy from all.
*12. Kitchy good cover of a classic. Varying tempos, but all good.
*13. Yee haw! Fast, fast mash. Extra energy, let the juggling begin.
*14. Slow, droning pipes leads to soaring vox then a midtempo dance.
