Dan’s Silverleaf, 103 Industrial, Denton, 10 p.m.
Tickets: $7
Gypsy Swinging, Serenading, Fire-breathing, Circus Freaks!
Driving gypsy jazz rhythms, acoustic guitars, upright bass and violin lay the foundation for mesmerizing vocal harmonies and fantastic stories. It’s theatrical and humorous. It’s musical and intense. It entertains, dazzles and defies classification while welcoming the spectator to join the band throughout the performance in momentary fits of claps, snaps and sing-alongs. If Django Reinhardt, the cast of Stomp and the Beatles all had a party at Tim Burton‘s house, Caravan of Thieves would be the band they hired.
Dear friends: please stay up late Tuesday night, pay $7, to see these wonderful musicians. I heard they were playing Austin the night previous, Oklahoma City the night after, and we’re right here in the middle! Gina convinced me to convince Dan to book them and (bless his heart!) he did.
Here watch this video of their song, “Raise the Dead:”

Pretty cool, eh?
Oh yes, the brilliant Paul Slavens and his (un)usual suspects (including me) are inventing songs on the spot at 8 p..m., for donations. Please stay and pay to hear Caravan of Thieves. YOU WON’T BE DISAPPOINTED!!
