Bio

What do you get when you take a bass player from the 70′s, a keyboard player from Juilliard, a musical savant playing lead guitar, two theatrical lead vocalists, and a drummer with progressive rock in his DNA? All veteran musicians? The new American rock band Circuline.

Performing original and classic progressive rock, Circuline was founded in 2014 when former progressive rock tribute band Downing Grey members Andrew Colyer (keyboards, vocals), Bill Shannon (lead guitars, vocals), and Darin Brannon (drums, percussion) had a burning desire to write original material. Lead vocalists Billy Spillane (lead vocals) and Natalie Brown were up for the challenge, and Daniel Aggers (bass, vocals) was recruited to join the band, having composed and performed in other progressive rock bands for over 30 years.
