About Me

Vinyl Circus is an electro-funk-rock jam band focused on playing energy-infused rock/funk with tasteful bits of electronic influence to capture both the musical mind and the dancing soul. VC's music is a blend of jazzy funk grooves and rockin' house/drum n' bass beats. The quartet is comprised of Matt Farr (keyboards, vocals), Drew Segal (guitar), Craig Stevens (bass) and John Leonard (drums). Drew and John first played together in a series of informal jam sessions during the summer of 1997. Following similar but separate paths, Drew soon started a project in New York while John based himself first in Gainesville and later in Boston. Returning to South Florida after years of playing clubs up and down the East Coast, their paths crossed once more in the spring of 2005...Friends since childhood, Matt and Craig share an undeniable musical connection. Their most recent collaborations began when Craig returned to South Florida from Chicago and the pair started multiple projects which included adding Drew on guitar.Soon after, the story would come full-circle when Drew, eager to start something fresh, invited John to join him, along with Matt and Craig, in another series of energy-infused informal jams that almost immediately began VC. So, here we are...
