Circles Around The Sun's unconventional origin story is purely the magic hand of fate at work. Guitarist Neal Casal was asked to record a handful of Grateful Dead-influenced instrumentals to be played during the set breaks at the Grateful Dead’s “Fare Thee Well” concerts in 2015. To accomplish the task, he formed a band with keyboardist Adam MacDougall, bassist Dan Horne and drummer Mark Levy. That was supposed to be the end of it, but the response from the audience who heard the recordings as they played over the stadium's PA was uniformly resounding, quite literally blowing up the internet with pleas for more.
