The Sun

Circles Around the Sun is a contemporary instrumental rock band that formed with the specific purpose of creating intermission music for Fare Thee Well, a series of reunion concerts played by the surviving members of the Grateful Dead during their 2015 tour. Those shows celebrated the band's 50th anniversary and served as their official send-off, while Circles Around the Sun was designed to reflect the Dead's spacy and grooving overall feel. After the tour, the group issued a self-titled album from the Fare Thee Well gigs and supported it with their own road trip. The response was so positive that they remained a going concern and released Let It Wander in 2018, which was less influenced by the Dead and more freeform, delivering on the roots influence of jazz-funk, soul, and fusion. The band underwent a fundamental transition in 2019.

Keyboardist Cheryl Gunn brings a melodic sensibilty together with a strong feminine influence, resulting in a splendid landscape of vibrant musical color. With husband and co-collaborator Nicholas Gunn included on several tracks, this album has a familiar quality, yet is distinctive to Cheryl’s own musical gifts.
