What's Up Front & Center Now!Full Circle has had a fairly busy 2024, and now as we creep into 2025, we are finding ourselves getting ready to book the group out for next year.
Full Circle is still booking for 2025Full Circle is a well-rehearsed acoustic trio that can expand to a full
5-piece band as needed. We are a highly diverse and road-experienced group, who can showcase everything from, Blues, Soul, R&B, Jazz, Indie, Roots, Pop and Rock favorites. The trio’s stand out attributes are dazzling 3-part harmonies, super-cool arrangements, beautiful instrumentals, fun interactive energy, and interesting cultural story-telling. The Full Circle Story. Full Circle started out as really good friends who worked together intermittently throughout the course of four decades. Two of the group’s founders, Nico and Ray, met and have played together with different entities since the mid -1970s. Each member of the group has grown their own musical careers successfull by working with different people, cultivating creative ideas, sharing experiences and influences, and we have brought all of that to the center of this Full Circle. Ray and Nico have collaborated for many years on original songs and from the beginning of that history together, have formed a complete Full Circle. Nico being of Native American heritage, brings her influence of story-telling to the hoop and explains why the “Circle” is of such great significance in these trying times. We have lost so many people the last couple of years. Its sad to think that we are playing music for more memorials than any thing else these days. We are really missing our loved ones who have crossed over, and we also miss being an active part of our community where we can interact with people personally. Hugging, conversing, playing music with, and sharing our stories, gifts, and love, is part of the reason we get ourselves up everyday. I started to lose count on how many people in the Portland music community we have lost in the last 6 years so, I took in the task of starting an interactive FACE BOOK GROUP called Beloved Musicians Memorial PDX. You are welcome to contribute to the legacies of our friends and collegues in this group, if you like. It seems to be comforting to know that there are others who will carry the love and legacies of our memories here in this syber world, as we round the bend into the mystic.
