Inspired by the big band swing era, Django Reinhardt and the Quintette du Hot Club de France, absurd and macabre musical theater and early American folk music, Caravan of Thieves took shape in the hearts and minds of Fuzz and Carrie, the dynamic singing, strumming and songwriting musical duo who formed the band in early 2008. They began by writing a handful of songs based on this concept and soon after, filled out their sound with upright bass, violin, and an occasional accordion and any other willing participant they could recruit along the way. Caravan of Thieves was born.
By the end of their first year, the Caravan began to gain recognition for their distinctive musical vision, which inspired them to record and release their debut full-length album, Bouquet (2009). So Fuzz and Carrie took their show and growing cast of characters on the road, sharing stages with a variety of artists such as Emmylou Harris, Dan Hicks, The Decemberists, Keb Mo, Tom Tom Club, Iron and Wine, Shemekia Copeland, Punch Brothers, Robert Cray, John Jorgenson and many others. They successfully connected with audiences on each of these diverse bills, proving their act to be appreciated by folk, pop, rock and jazz audiences of all ages.
A few albums and a few hundred thousand miles later, Fuzz and Carrie eventually reached a comfortable stride embracing their roles as show and album producers, songwriters and arrangers. They released Mischief Night (2010), The Funhouse (2012) and Kiss Kiss (2015), produced the shows and tours to follow, and continued to introduce a greater blend of styles, instrumentation and musical guests with each new album and tour. As a result, the live performance now covers a wide dynamic range and appeal with each show flowing seamlessly from intimate acoustic duets to entertaining and exciting junk percussion jams to big audience stomp, clap and sing alongs, all while maintaining their spontaneous “street performance brought to the stage” mentality they developed in their early days of performing together.
According to Fuzz and Carrie, “We’re driven to consistently entertain our audience, in concert and on our studio recordings, which lends to building a community of listeners who can be involved in our show and our creative process in some way, as well as a variety of artists who we can share our vision with. These elements allow our band and our music to be alive, have a soul.”
“We are always attempting to write that song that was mistakenly left out of the book of standards”, Fuzz and Carrie explain. “But the challenge for us lies in covering topics that most listeners can relate to while taking them to the edges of their imaginations by both lyrically and musically using as many vibrant images as we can to illustrate the story.”
Over the past fifteen years and throughout several countries, the Caravan of Thieves have developed a loyal family of “Freaks”, a moniker both the band and their followers willingly and affectionately refer to themselves as. During that time, Fuzz and Carrie's ever expanding community of musicians, artists and fans have allowed their dream to live through each triumph and hurdle, and with each performance, each interaction and each new moment adding another layer of color to their story.
