14 Haikus About Circles Around The Sun That Our Writer Submitted Instead Of A Review

Last Friday, on December 5th, Circles Around The Sun kicked off their 2018 tour with a sold-out performance at The Troubadour in Hollywood with support from Grateful Shred. Led by guitarist Neal Casal and featuring keyboardist Adam MacDougall, drummer Mark Levy, and bassist Dan Horne, CATS has earned a lot of praise since its inception in 2015, when they were commissioned to create the intermission music for the Grateful Dead’s 50th-anniversary Fare Thee Well celebration.

EXCLUSIVE: Neal Casal Talks CRB, LSD, & The Future Of Circles Around The Sun

Live For Live Music had a writer scheduled to review the show, though he unexpectedly had to leave Circles Around The Sun’s performance early. However, despite not being able to stay for the whole night, the writer (who is choosing to remain anonymous) wanted to make sure he still sent us in some form of coverage. Thus, he’s sent us a collection of fourteen haikus that he feels encapsulates his experience at Circles Around The Sun’s and Grateful Shred‘s show-opener at the Troubadour. Enjoy.
