The Slomski Brothers
www.slomskibrothers.com
“Vaudeville like you’ve never tasted it!”-
If you’ve ever wondered what Vaudeville tastes like, wonder no more. The Slomski Brothers are coming to town, and they always know what to do. Both Mark Slomski and Phil Slomski started performing at an early age, but it wasn’t until Mama Slomski insisted they hit the road with the family luggage, Trunk Slomski, did they realize their dream: to bring laughter and the Slomski name to the entire world. Using an inherited ukulele and a pan forged from a moonshine still, the Slomski Brothers aim to sell their special brand of music, including a hint of comedy, juggling and slapstick, to anyone with time to spare. They have traveled the country over honing their skills as purveyors of fine goods and services. It’s not a show you’ll want to miss, and it’s not one you’ll forget anytime soon.

In just a few short days, I will be joining my long-time circus family, the indomitable Accidental Circus, for a whirlwind 8 cities in 8 days tour!

Many of my fans have been hounding me to come to their neck of the woods, and I promise I’m working on it! Help a sideshow girl out, tell all your friends about the Accidental Circus shows that are in your area! You, being super hip and savvy to all know who would benefit the most from mind blowing circus, sideshow, music, vaudeville goodness.

Also, if you have suggestions about where to send promo, like radio stations, newspapers, websites, etc, drop me a line with the appropriate info (city, contact name, email, etc)

So, re-post! Re-post! RE-POST!
Spread the Accidental Circus rash..er…joy to everyone!
