The Invisible Circus is a concept born out of a desire to connect and experiment with some of the amazing musical talent surrounding me. Originally, it was mainly intended as an opportunity to jam on jazz standards and improvise on any number of different musical ideas. Then I was compelled to start writing. I decided to play up the circus theme on the premise that anything can happen. And I started thinking up circus-inspired song titles to inform the compositions. I figure if you close your eyes and open your imagination, you can have your own little circus show happening behind your eyes, with our music as the soundtrack.
For the time being, I'm doing these shows every other Monday at Dunn Bros Coffee in Addison (check Dates page for details). I will continue to post highlights from these shows. The videos at the top will be my original songs and I'll probably plan on always having my favorite version on this page.
Below those tunes will be performances of various jazz standards and other cover material. Enjoy!
