Caravan of Thieves Returning to The Ware Center, Today

Returning from The Ware Center's first season, the four piece, gypsy band Caravan of Thieves will perform in the atrium at the Ware Center on Saturday, October 3, 2015 at 7:30 PM. Acoustic guitars along with upright bass and violin lay the foundation for this musically intense show, and spectators are encouraged to sing, snap, and clap along to the driving gypsy rhythms and humorous, theatrical performances that Caravan of Thieves have become so known for. All tickets include complimentary beverage service which begins at 7:00 PM. The Ware Center is located at 42 N. Prince Street, Lancaster.

In their 2015 album, KISS KISS, Caravan of Thieves combines dark humor and sarcastic commentary with a focus on love and all the beauty and danger that comes with it. The band's founders, Fuzz and Carrie Sangiovanni, shared, "We enjoy writing about concepts that most listeners can relate to while seeing how far we can bring it to the edges of our imaginations, and try to use as many unexpected images and comparisons as we can to illustrate them. One of the main themes behind KISS KISS is love, which is already so complex, so we tried to cover as many angles as possible, the good the bad and yes, even the ugly."

Fuzz and Carrie, of Bridgeport, Connecticut, started Caravan of Thieves in 2008. Their passion for music and adventure has generated four albums since then. Completing Fuzz and Carrie's colorful vision is fiery violinist Ben Dean and double bass maestro, Brian Anderson.
