Circuline Enters Rotation on KDHX-FM in St. Louis
We’ve had several reports from fans in St. Louis, Missouri, telling us that they’re hearing us on the radio there! Thank you so much, Ron Matthews, for making that happen!
Circuline Guest Guitarist #3 of 7: Alek Darson (Fright Pig, Meridian Voice Project)
Circuline is excited to continue announcing the Guest Guitarists for the second album, “Counterpoint”.
Guest #3: Alek Darson (Fright Pig, Meridian Voice Project). Circuline co-leaders Darin Brannon and Andrew Colyer saw Alek perform for the first time with Fright Pig at the 2014 Rites of Spring festival (RoSfest). RoSfest is a 10-band progressive rock weekend, which is a lot to take in at one time. Alek was so awesome that he stood out among the crowd. Darin and Andrew remembered him. Later that year, in October at the 2014 New Jersey Proghouse Homecoming, Darin and Andrew saw Alek onstage again, performing a rock-jazz fusion show with Meridian Voice Project. They connected that weekend, and when Circuline needed guest guitar players for this upcoming album, they called Alek.
What many people don’t know about Alek is that not only is he a virtuosos guitar player, but also a highly trained recording and mixing engineer who has produced over 12 albums. Originally from Serbia, Alek went to school for audio engineering and worked for many years running his own studio, before coming to the U.S. and attending Berklee School of Music for performance and composition.
Alek is contributing guitar tracks to the songs “Forbidden Planet”, “Hollow”, and is the mixing engineer for the album. We’re excited and grateful to be working with him!
Circuline Guest Guitarist #2 of 7: Matt Dorsey (Sound of Contact, Beth Hart)
Circuline is proud to continue announcing the Guest Guitarists for the second album, “Counterpoint”.
Guest #2: Matt Dorsey (Sound of Contact, Beth Hart). Andrew Colyer performed on keys/vocals with the Prog Rock Orchestra on the 2013 Moody Blues Cruise and YES Cruise to the Edge, sharing the bill on both cruises with Sound of Contact. Andrew and Matt got to hang out quite a bit during those two weeks at sea, in addition to SoC’s North American spring tour in New York City and RoSfest 2013. That connection evolved into Matt playing bass on five tracks and mixing Circuline’s entire debut album, “Return”. Matt also flew out to play some live gigs with Circuline on the U.S. east coast in November 2014.
Matt is contributing guitar tracks to the song “Summit”, and we’re grateful to have him on the album!
Circuline Guest Guitarist #1 of 7: Alan Shikoh (Glass Hammer, Samurai of Prog)
Circuline is proud to begin announcing the Guest Guitarists for the second album, “Counterpoint”.
First up: Kamran Alan Shikoh (Glass Hammer, Samurai of Prog). Andrew Colyer met Alan on the 2013 Cruise to the Edge, and hung out together for several hours at the Miami airport. Andrew then performed on keys/vocals with the Prog Rock Orchestra on the 2013 Moody Blues Cruise, sharing the bill with Glass Hammer. Circuline and Glass Hammer shared the stage as part of their spring 2015 tour.
Alan is contributing guitar tracks to the song “Inception”, and we’re grateful to have him on the album!
