Sounds LikeA soundtrack to a movie about that time you and your friends took a trip to that place that was really cool but you didn't quite fit in but you had a good time anyway then you went your separate ways and would talk about it time to time as you got older, pursued careers and built your own lives

   About Circus of Saints
Circus of Saints is the name used by a bunch of musicians ranging from New York, Maryland, Virginia, and Florida that write, record, and perform simple and complex songs meant to spread the joy of improvisation. Improvisation of melody, harmony, beats, ideas, and spirit. We started this in 2002 in Clearwater, Florida with just a piccolo fretless bass and a diatonic harmonica. Today, there's over twenty musicians including drummers, singers, woodwind, brass, guitarists, bassists, keyboard, composers, engineers, producers, and lyricists. Did you ever want to join a circus?

Hey Saints. I love the tracks. Blue Sky reminded me of Mike Stern & Bob Berg. It's hip, and that's how it's supposed to be. One Love.
