Biography[edit]
Origins[edit]
Jimmy Haun and Michael Sherwood (Billy's elder brother) were childhood friends and went on to form the band Lodgic, which Billy joined in 1981. A few years after Lodgic split up, Billy Sherwood was introduced to Yes bassist Chris Squire and other members of Yes, including Kaye and White. Sherwood worked with the band on material for their next album. Meanwhile, both Haun and Michael Sherwood came to do session work on the second album from the Yes spinoff band, Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe. Material from both projects was combined for the 1991 album Union, which thus features Billy Sherwood on the track 'The More We Live—Let Go' and Haun and Michael Sherwood on further tracks. Squire and Billy Sherwood had written a body of material not used on Union; subsequently, they briefly toured this under the name of The Chris Squire Experiment in 1992, with a line-up including White and Haun. (The Chris Squire Experiment later evolved into Conspiracy.)
Billy Sherwood continued an on/off association with Yes over the next few years, joining the live line-up for the Talk tour in 1994, with Jon Anderson, Trevor Rabin, Chris Squire, Alan White, and Tony Kaye. After this, in 1995, Sherwood and Rabin did some writing together, and two tracks on the Circa 2007 album are based on this material.
Billy Sherwood eventually joined Yes for a few years before leaving again. In the mid-2000s, he organised two Pink Floyd tribute albums, Back Against The Wall and Return To The Dark Side Of The Moon, and some further projects which featured an array of former and current Yes members as guests, including Kaye, White, Geoff Downes, Peter Banks, Bill Bruford, Steve Howe, and Rick Wakeman. Coming out of the second of these projects, Sherwood suggested to Kaye that they put together a project using former and current members of Yes. Going under a working title of Family or Family Project, various names were floated, and White and Banks were approached.
However, in 2006, as the project developed, Sherwood and Kaye decided to change tack and focus on creating a unitary band. They recruited Alan White on drums and Jimmy Haun on guitar and recorded their debut album. Circa was formally announced in March 2007.
Circa 2007 and touring[edit]
On 30 July 2007, the band self-released their nine-song debut album, Circa 2007, with guest appearances by Michael Sherwood and Cole Coleman. The album includes two tracks based on material Billy Sherwood co-wrote with Trevor Rabin in 1995. A two-track download-only EP was previously available for a short period in the United States.
The band's debut live show was on August 23, 2007 in San Juan Capistrano, with a set including an extended instrumental medley of Yes tunes. A DVD of this show was released as Circa Live in February 2008. A few North American dates followed in early 2008, with Jay Schellen, a past collaborator of Sherwood's and Kaye's, filling in for White on one date.
Circa HQ and Yoso[edit]
In July 2008, Jay Schellen permanently replaced Alan White, who chose to focus on his work in Yes. The new line-up recorded an album, Circa HQ, in the latter half of 2008. The album was released on 14 January 2009. A short Italian tour with former Toto singer, Bobby Kimball, was announced for February 2009, playing a set consisting of music by Circa, Yes, and Toto. Kimball and Circa then joined to create a new band, Yoso (originally to be called AKA), although the Yoso line-up changed further until only Sherwood and Kaye from Circa were still members, joined by Johnny Bruhns on guitar and Scott Connor on drums.

And So On[edit]
Yoso disbanded in early 2011,[citation needed] and guitarist Bruhns moved to replace Haun in Circa. Haun had withdrawn to focus on his work providing music for commercials. Jay Schellen also departed, wanting to focus on work with Asia Featuring John Payne and Unruly Child. Connor was originally to take over on drums, but withdrew and Ronnie Ciago joined the band. On March 7, 2011, Michi Sherwood (Billy's wife) revealed the band's next album will be called And So On.
However, with western North American tour dates, Ciago left the band and Connor joined.
In 2013, all of Circa's studio material and first live album was re-issued through Cleopatra Records. Circa also released a new live album, Live From Here There & Everywhere, on Glassville Records.
Valley of the Windmill[edit]
Circa's fourth album Valley of the Windmill,[3] was released July 8, 2016 [4] on Frontiers records.[5] It includes several extended-length songs, and Sherwood describes it as 'super proggy'.[6]
Upcoming fifth album[edit]
On April 15, 2019, Sherwood announced on his Facebook page that he and Tony Kaye are currently 'chipping away at various musical ideas' for a fifth album.[7]

The band consists of Tony Kaye, a former Yes member, and Billy Sherwood, who is a current member of Yes. Billy took over Chris Squire’s place as a bassist, who we sadly lost in 2015. However, mister Sherwood provides the lead vocals and guitars instead of bass on CIRCA:’s fourth album, named Valley Of The Windmill. Rick Tierney is providing the bass guitar parts, and Scott Connor does the drums and percussion.
Ok, the next question is an obvious one; Does the album sound like Yes? No… Well, not too much, in my humble opinion. I reviewed Anderson/Stolt’s Invention Of Knowledge not so long ago (you can read the review here), and that sounds a lot more like Yes than Yes has ever did the past few years. This album from CIRCA: is actually more my taste, an album which I already liked during the first spin, and the more I played it the better it even became!
The album is 52 minutes long and contains four long tracks. I’m always a bit apprehensive when it comes to long tracks. some bands try to look ‘proggy’ by making long songs, while the long songs are actually more interesting when they were shorter, and less filled up with meaningless passages purely to lubricate things together. With this album this is absolutely not the case! There are no boring moments in the tracks, everything is done well considered and fused.
First track Silent Resolve starts very ambient-like. After one minute the song changes with an organ solo, and not much later the complete band sets in. The song carries a positive and catchy vibe most of the time. The bass is very present at moments, which I quite like. After five minutes I hear a Yes influenced moment. Several musical passages and choruses that were present in the first part of the song come back from time to time, making this fifteen minute track a good prog rock song. Empire Over starts with an 80s sound, thanks to the drums and keyboard sounds. This track sounds gloomy compared to the previous one, but carries a lot of energy, and the choruses makes the song lighter in tone. The drums are vigorous and fit well in this. Title track Valley Of The Windmill is my favourite track on the album. The intro rhythm and low bass sounds very contagious. Just like Silent Resolve it carries a positive vibe. Our Place Under The Sun is with almost twenty minutes the longest track on the album. There’s a lot happening already in the first part, and you can say that there are some Yes influenced moments here and there, but not too obvious. Around six minutes the song gets more calm and retained. Some passages in the music come back from time to time, just like Silent Resolve. After twelve minutes a long instrumental piece sets in, which gets an unexpected but suprising turn after one minute. After sixteen minutes into the track the main theme of the song comes back to wrap up this long musical piece.
This album gets five out of five stars from me. A well-produced and well-fabricated album that doesn’t bore one minute and really deserves the term ‘progressive rock’. Will this album be in my top 10 list of 2016? I think it definitely will, unless a lot of bands/artists I adore suddenly produce splendid albums before the end of the year.
