Circles Around The Sun Announces First Non-Festival Show

One of the highlights of the recently completed Lockn’ Festival at Oak Ridge Farm in Arrington, Virginia was the first-ever live set from Circles Around The Sun. Hard Working Americans/Chris Robinson Brotherhood guitarist Neal Casal put the group together last summer to create instrumental music to be played at setbreak of the Fare Thee Well concerts in Santa Clara and Chicago. We were hoping the Lockn’ set wouldn’t be the end for Circles Around The Sun and we’re pleased to share that the band has announced its first non-festival gig.

Circles Around The Sun featuring Neal Casal will play Brooklyn Bowl in New York City on Wednesday, November 23. Casal is joined in Circles Around The Sun by CRB keyboardist Adam MacDougall, drummer Mark Levy and bassist Dan Horne. Tickets for the show go on sale this Friday, October 7 at 10 a.m. ET via Brooklyn Bowl’s website.

The foursome worked through extended versions of six songs from the Fare Thee Well intermissions at Lockn’, each of which were released on Interludes For The Dead last fall. Every tune played hints at a song by another artist, whether it’s “Space Wheel” sounding like the Grateful Dead’s “The Wheel” or “Ginger Says” taking some of the “Tweezer” vibe. Listen to the set below:
