Circuline - C.O.R.E (2024)

Why is the album titled "C.O.R.E."?

We are Circuline. We are Original. We are Reimagined. We are Evolving.

The CORE of Circuline since 2014 - Andrew Colyer, Darin Brannon, and Natalie Brown - return with a lineup change of epic proportions, producing our most diverse, eclectic, and modern album to date.

New Band Member - Shelby Logan Warne (bass) - what if Chris Squire (YES), Geddy Lee (Rush), and John Taylor (Duran Duran) had a bass-playing baby? That's how awesome Shelby sounds! Fronting her own band Kyros on keys/vocals, we're loving everything rhythmic and melodic that Shelby brings to the low end for our band!

New Band Member - Dave Bainbridge (acoustic and electric guitars) - has been voted amonst the world's top ten guitarists in the PROG Magazine Reader's Poll in both 2018 and 2019, recently coming in 4th behind legends Steve Rothery, Steve Hackett, and Andy Latimer. Besides being the co-founder and touring the world with Celtic progressive/folk/rock band IONA, Dave has also worked with The Strawbs, Downes-Braide Association, has his own solo career, and is currently the guitarist for the band Lifesigns. Just wait until you hear the fantastic and soaring sounds coming from Dave's guitars!

Guest Artist - Joe Deninzon (electric violin) - has been a Circuline friend for the past 10 years, first as a Guest Artist on the band's debut album Return, then sharing the stage as a guest at the International Rites of Spring Festival (RoSfest), which was captured on the live CircuLive::Majestik CD/DVD/Blu-ray product. In addition to fronting his own band Stratospheerius, Joe is also the newest addition to the KANSAS band lineup, cementing the proof of his greatness. We're so excited to have Joe back on board for this album - his contribution is amazing!
