Circuline – International ProgStock Festival Announcement #2
Michael Gauvreau (Willie Aames, Jumptown, ColyerBrown) will be joining Circuline for our performance at ProgStock on Saturday, October 19th, at 4 pm! Mike has been singing and playing drums, percussion, and many other instruments since his childhood years. He has known and sung with Natalie Brown since the 5th grade! In his early 20’s, Mike moved to California and toured the United States with the Willie Aames (Eight is Enough) band. Continuing to perform throughout his life, Mike now fronts his own 20-piece Motown-style horn band Jumptown, produces the Crossroads Music Festival in Leesburg, Virginia, and has been performing with the ColyerBrown Group since 2016 up and down the East Coast.
Mike will be singing lead and background harmonies with Circuline, as well as contributing to the Groove with his percussion rig. We’re so excited about our new lineup – we can’t wait to see you at ProgStock 2024!
Circuline is so excited for our upcoming 90-minute show at the International ProgStock Festival!
We’re grateful to have been asked back for the second time, and we’ll be performing our new album, “C.O.R.E.” in its entirety, along with some previous favorites and new live features!
The Bad News: Due to overwhelming demand of her own band Kyros, and her recently acquired and remodeled London-based recording complex Sensible Music Studios, Shelby Logan Warne has decided she cannot be “performance ready” on bass for 10 days of travel, rehearsals, and the Circuline show at ProgStock. We as a band are sorry that is not a possibility at this time, and we hope to perform live with her in the future, when the time is right. We support her decision, and will be seen in the audience at Kyros’s Friday night performance at ProgStock. Shelby will be available to sign autographs with Circuline at the merch table, following our Saturday night performance on October 19th.
The Good News: Having toured with Circuline in 2014, playing on and mixing our first studio album “Return”, appearing as a Guest Guitarist on our second studio album “Counterpoint”, and co-writing two songs on our new album “C.O.R.E.”, Matt Dorsey has been an “almost-band-member” since the inception of this band. Matt will be filling in for Shelby on bass and acoustic guitar for our 2024 ProgStock performance!
Thank you so much, Cliff “Progzilla” Pearson, for featuring the Circuline song “Transmission Error” on your “Live from Progzilla Towers” show, Episode 523, on Progzilla Radio, and for the kind words! Very cool to hear our music sandwiched between Camel, Jethro Tull, Thomas Dolby, and Led Zeppelin!
