03/25/10 • Guggenheim Grotto & Caravan of Thieves • 08:00 PM
Over the past three years Mick Lynch and Kevin May of pop/folk act The Guggenheim Grotto have touched U.S. and U.K. audiences in a way the duo couldn’t have imagined. From setting out as Dublin songwriter circuit to building a devoted cult following in the U.S. with warm embraces from media and competitive iTunes charting, the band has captivated audiences and taste-makers on both sides of the pond with its mix of poetic, often literature-inspired lyrics set to timeless, soaring pop melodies.

Stretching the parameters of acoustic swing, Caravan of Thieves has been winning immediate praise for their new and unique brand of gypsy flavored song writing and their high intensity show. The vocal harmonizing, acoustic guitar spanking husband and wife duo Fuzz and Carrie have extended their family to include fiery violinist Ben Dean and double bass madman, Brian Anderson to complete their colorful vision. Seeking inspiration from beyond the great divide, the quartet produces layers of Beatlesque vocals, driving rhythms, satirical, dramatic song writing and an overall circus of sound.
