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!
