Circuline welcomes new bass player, composer, and vocalist – Daniel Aggers!
In preparation for the end-of-summer EP release of original melodic cinematic progressive rock music, Circuline resumed the epic two-day weekend rehearsal schedule, from 11 am to 10 pm on Saturdays, and 11 am to 6 pm on Sundays. Rehearsals have moved to a new remote location – “The Toolshed” in upstate New York.
On Saturday (happy Summer Solstice!), Andrew Colyer (keyboards, vocals), Darin Brannon (drums, percussion), Bill Shannon (guitars, vocals), Daniel Aggers (bass, bass pedals, vocals), lead vocalist Natalie Brown, and lead vocalist Billy Spillane continued composing music, lyrics, melody lines, and harmonies for the song “In Through The Sun”. On Sunday, the process continued with the song “Stereotypes”.
