There is a lot of very exciting music happening in LA. Circle The Earth hails from this fair city with Mike McBay as a founding member and the driving force on the low end.
Mike is not only a bass player but also practices medicine and applies his life knowledge to guide the band’s efforts. Just like their hometown, Circle the Earth is a very diverse band in a multicultural and generational sense. Their music carries a message of planetary awareness colored with hope for a bright future for all.
Join me as we hear about Mike’s musical and life journey, how he gets his sound, and the band’s plans for the future.
Here is Mike McBay!
