Call the Circle

About Me

Call The Circle is an electrifying Austin-based band serving up a piping hot, tasty spectrum of high-energy rock n' roll, with a heaping side of strong melodies. Drawing from influences ranging from Pop, Punk, Alternative, Metal, and Grunge, the band quickly bonded to create a unique blend of music in Austin, TX; Live Music Capitol of the World.

The name Call the Circle refers to the Native-American 'Spirit Circles,' where people worked together in balance and harmony. There was a shared sense of purpose and community, and every tribe member cooperated and challenged each other in a spirit of trust. They sat in council together sharing their collective input, listening to each other, respecting every voice and each individual perspective while honoring the very essence and spirit of life.
