Circles Around the Sun & Mikaela Davis on KEXP

KEXP welcomed psychedelic jam outfit Circles Around the Sun alongside harpist-vocalist Mikaela Davis for a live-in-studio session recorded on August 21, 2025. The quintet—Dan Horne (bass), Mark Levyz (drums), Adam MacDougall (keys), John Lee Shannon (guitar) and Mikaela Davis—delivered an electrifying sunrise set hosted by Troy Nelson.

Behind the scenes, audio was engineered by Kevin Suggs, mixed by Dan Horne and mastered by Matt Ogaz, while Jim Beckmann, Carlos Cruz, Scott Holpainen, Jonathan Jacobson and Luke Knecht captured every angle on camera (edited by Jim Beckmann).
