From Frontiers Music Srl<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

“CIRCA<\/strong>: is a Progressive Rock band formed by veteran rockers Tony Kaye<\/strong> (original YES<\/strong> keyboard and organ player) and Billy Sherwood<\/strong> (who took Chris<\/strong> Squire\u2019s<\/strong> place after his untimely passing in 2015), with Ricky Tierney<\/strong> on bass and Scott Connor<\/strong> on drums.<\/p>\n

The band was formed in 2007 by Tony Kaye<\/strong> and Billy Sherwood<\/strong>. The debut self-titled CD, “CIRCA:”, features also YES<\/strong> drummer Alan White<\/strong> and Jimmy Haun<\/strong> on guitar. The follow-up, “CIRCA: Live” DVD, archived the band’s first live performance.<\/p>\n

In 2009, “CIRCA: HQ” was released with Jay Schellen<\/strong> on drums. CIRCA: “Overflow” is a collection of extra bonus material from the first and second recording sessions, available only as a digital download.<\/p>\n

“And So On,” was the third studio CD by the band. A subsequent tour happened in 2011.<\/p>\n

“Valley of the Windmill” the new album, includes several extended length songs, and can be described as “super proggy” with influences ranging from classic Yes<\/strong> and Gentle Giant<\/strong>, to Porcupine Tree<\/strong> and Marillion<\/strong>. And absolute must for all Prog Rock fans!”<\/p>\n

“Valley of the Windmill” will be released by Frontiers Music Srl <\/strong>on 8th July 2016.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
