A rock show that finds a similar, or at least complimentary, feel from a wide net of artists. Many eras, genres and geographies are brought together in what (to me) feels a cohesive way. In the US this week is Thanksgiving, and I wouldn’t mind hearing this show at the table with friends.

This week Gulls Window Circus is a one hour rock show. The selections weave roots/canyon rock/art rock and cover tracks from 1965 (The Mamas & The Papas) to 2024 (Tucker Zimmerman, Steve Wynn). The hidden gems you haven’t heard include Splinter, Jack Bruce, and CCCP-TV. While it doesn’t fit on paper, even the Fire Engines track belongs in this special blend of sounds.

Nice tracks.
