"Gandalf Murphy & the Slambovian Circus of Dreams is simply one of the finest American bands out there on the road." All Music Guide "Super and Natural... I love this band!" Gene Shay WXPN FM - Philadelphia "Whenever I watch The Circus it reminds me to write and perform with my whole heart and soul." Dar Williams "Mightily impressive and hugely original... 'tis truly an epic soundtrack." Maverick Magazine - UK "Casting a wide net, their music energizes anyone who hears it." Relix Magazine "Lively songs that are imbued with mystical stirrings." New York Times "A truly remarkable record. I couldn't believe how good it is. Had they made a single, it would be hailed as a classic." Bruce Warren, PD WXPN FM - Philadelphia "This band is at once completely original and entirely familiar. A truly magical experience even if you're just having a conversation with them. It's been a privilege to play their special brand of music on the air. All hail the Circus of Dreams!" Spider Glenn Vermont Radio Personality/ WNTI NJ "This band is a riveting, mesmerizing, crazy, amazing machine of music that gives you chills both through the playing of their eclectic musical devices, as well as through their spiritually evoking lyrical content." Bottomline NYC Concert Review, Chronogram "This band is a wonderful surprise - great songs and a whole lotta heart." Meg Griffin WFUV/Sirius Radio "Joziah is an awesome songwriter." Garth Hudson The Band "Like Colorado's Sixteen Horsepower, The Circus reaches back for elements of early American music and makes it rock." Elisa Flynn Fairfield County Weekly "This band is a knockout... they are as fascinating to watch as they are to hear." Roger Straub The Trumpeter "One of the most charismatic talents to emerge from New York's creative community." Guitar Magazine "They're not just a band. That's something like saying the Bible is just a book." Terri Lagerstedt Westchester County Weekly
