   About Beat Circus
About The Band

Beat Circus was formed in 2002 by singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Brian Carpenter. In Summer 2006 Beat Circus began recording Dreamland, the first part of Brian Carpenter's "Weird American Gothic" trilogy, with producer Martin Bisi. Dreamland is loosely based on historical events associated with turn-of-the-century New York and Coney Island, and saw a January 2008 release on Cuneiform Records.

In Summer 2007 Brian Carpenter spawned the third incarnation of Beat Circus to develop Boy From Black Mountain, fiery songs about family and fatherhood in the tradition of Southern Gospel music and Southern Gothic literature. The band is currently mixing the album in NYC with producer Bryce Goggin.
