Circles Around the Sun

Circles Around the Sun performed live at KEXP Studios on October 13, 2023, showcasing their vibrant sound with a rendition of "Saturday's Children / Tacoma Narrows." At this point in their career, they had recently released the album "Let It Wander" in 2021, which was well-received, highlighting their unique blend of instrumental rock and improvisation. The band's dynamic chemistry can be felt in this performance, featuring Dan Horne on bass, John Lee Shannon on guitar, Adam McDougall on keys, and Mark Levy on drums. What's particularly interesting is that Circles Around the Sun began as a project to create music for the Grateful Dead's after-parties, blending their influences into a distinctive style that resonates with fans of psychedelic rock. The live setting at KEXP perfectly encapsulates their improvisational spirit, making this performance a delightful experience for both dedicated followers and newcomers alike.
