RoSfest is extremely pleased to announce that Circa: has been chosen as our Saturday night headliner for 2008.

The band is called Circa: and is comprised of veteran Yes rockers from different eras: Billy Sherwood, Tony Kaye and Alan White with Jimmy Haun on lead guitar have completed their debut album. Capturing various eras of Progressive Classic Rock to create a dynamic new sound, Circa: 2007 is an album of original compositions that defines a new musical chapter for the band.



Ex-members guitarist Billy Sherwood, who filled in for Steve Howe on Talk(1994) and played next to him on Keys To Ascension Volume I and II (1996/97), Open Your Eyes (1997), and The Ladder (1999); next is current Yes drummer Alan White, who has been hitting the skins for Yes since 1972; keyboard player Tony Kaye was with Yes when it formed in 1968 and he played on their first couple of albums, then he went on to a successful solo career. Kaye returned to band in 1983 for the 90125 album -- arguably the most successful compilation of the band's career (and which yielded the still-popular #1 hit "Owner Of A Lonely Heart") -- and stuck around for another 10 years, and then departed again; and finally the quartet is rounded out by Jimmy Haun - a name many Yes fans may not be familiar with but who in fact played the majority of lead guitar parts on the 1991 YES album Union.

Circa: will be playing the entire new Circa: 2007 CD, as well as touching on special moments from every Yes era!! 2 hours of non stop prog!!

Look for Circa: to play the stage at RoSfest 2008.
