Backstory:
Circular Midnight was formed during the early hours of an impromptu university jam session in Boston, Massachusetts. The band’s original members, Dylan Grant (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Emma Adams (lead guitar), Leon Smith (bass), and Josh Carpenter (drums), were brought together by a shared love of late-night conversations and caffeine-induced creativity. They found common ground in their love for music that was not only melodic but also rich in lyrical depth and philosophical undertones. Their first breakthrough was their winning performance at a local Battle of the Bands competition, which led to a record deal and catapulted Circular Midnight into the limelight.
The band’s name, Circular Midnight, refers to the profound conversations that would take place in their shared dorm room, often extending into the early hours of the morning. Their music reflects the sentiments of those youthful dialogues – the exploration of self, the search for truth, and the pursuit of connections in our shared human experience.

Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse)
Em C G D
Wake up to the echoes of the night,
Em C G D
Lost in the corners of your mind.
Em C G D
We’re chasing shadows, can’t you see?
Em C G D
Dancing on the edge of make-believe.
(Chorus)
G C Em D
In the Shadows of Dawn, we find our song,
G C Em D
In the echoes of night, we find our light.
(Verse)
Em C G D
Look beyond, the stars can tell,
Em C G D
In the silence, we learn to dwell.
Em C G D
Tales of love, tales of pain,
Em C G D
In our hearts, they will remain.
(Chorus)
G C Em D
In the Shadows of Dawn, we find our song,
G C Em D
In the echoes of night, we find our light,
Em C G D
Tales of love, tales of sorrow,
Em C G D
In their echoes, we borrow.
Band’s Favorite Fan:
Our favorite fan is Jenny Davis. Jenny has been our avid supporter since our early days when we were playing for pocket change at local bars. She’s been to every single one of our shows, always standing front row, singing along to every lyric. Jenny once mentioned in an interview, “Circular Midnight isn’t just my favorite band because of their music, but because their lyrics speak to the very core of my being. They are the soundtrack to my life’s highs, lows and everything in between. Their music is a life companion, feeding my soul and challenging my thoughts. They are profound, they are real, and I couldn’t imagine my life without their music.”
