Shadow Circus

**Shadow Circus** is an American progressive rock band that emerged from New York City, blending lush storytelling with dynamic, genre-bending sounds. Founded by vocalist/guitarist David Bobick, the group channels classic prog-rock influences (think Yes or Genesis) while weaving in modern rock energy and theatrical flair. Their discography, including albums like *Welcome to the Freakroom* (2009) and *On a Dark and Stormy Night* (2012), showcases their love for concept-driven narratives, often drawing inspiration from literature and fantastical themes—like their *Whispers and Screams* (2016) album, which nods to Ray Bradbury’s *Something Wicked This Way Comes*.

Known for intricate compositions and vivid lyrics, Shadow Circus has carved a niche among prog enthusiasts, sharing stages with acts like Spock’s Beard and The Tangent. Tracks like *Pay the Piper* and *From the Shadows* highlight their knack for balancing epic arrangements with catchy hooks, making their music equally at home in headphone sessions and live performances. A band for fans of drama-packed rock with a side of whimsy!
