In 2015, guitarist Neal Casal formed Circles Around The Sun. The band featured keyboardist Adam MacDougall (his bandmate in the Chris Robinson Brotherhood), bassist Dan Horne and drummer Mark Levy. They first connected to record some Grateful Dead-influenced instrumentals to be played during the set breaks at the Dead’s “Fare Thee Well” concerts. The response was so positive, and the band was having so much fun making music together, that they agreed to keep it going. The band now features guitarist John Lee Shannon. Catch CATS on tour now!
