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.
