A chick with a guitar.....although some tremendously flattering comparisons I've received are Mary Lou Lord, Suzanne Vega and Townes Van Zandt....who isn't a chick. I've also been told I should never sing again. Heh.

Hi Cindi
Welcome to the CIRCA: family of friends, please stop by the CIRCA: page and have a listen to clips from the new "CIRCA: HQ" CD as well as the debut "CIRCA: CD". We also have 4 youtube clips for preview of our "CIRCA: LIVE DVD", including a 40 minute medley of excerpts from every YES album ever called "The Chronological Journey".
We are releasing all things CIRCA: ourselves independently, in other words you won't find it on Amazon or CD Baby etc... it's ONLY available through our on line store www. CIRCAHQ. com
Hey!!! Happy belated New Year to you!! Although, I don't think it's really "belated" on January 9th...anyway, hope you are good...I am going to catch you live somewhere someday.
Hi Cindi - too bad about not being able to make our show on Oct 1st. Not sure when the next one will be maybe Nov? Jan? I'll let you know.
I remember Shirk Circus - I have a CD of theirs! I came across them when they opened for the Loud Family at the old Kniting Factory...wow, a while ago now!
WOW! It's pretty heavy that I just put a Byrd's CD in me computer to upload when I got that comment. No lie! I guess I'e better focus on my Tufnel channelling...Bah!
