Eden Circle share debut single ‘Follow The Road’ + announce London shows‏

The four-piece formed earlier this year, with their origins going back to their schooldays when singer Joel Whitewood and guitarist Josh Best-Shaw found they shared the same classroom dreams of a musical future. To add to their beginnings as a core songwriting duo with shared roots, Josh and Joel make up the classic pairing of a strong-minded signature guitarist and a naturally gifted singer who can soar and dive around the guitars lines.

To complete the requirements they both grew up with a deep immersion in a musical form a few degrees away from the rock band norm. Joel played cornet as a child, Josh played clarinet, piano and sax. Both of them became choristers at Canterbury Cathedral, gaining a vocal expertise which would feed into the band’s harmonies. Even before they squared their circle with the addition of 18-year-old drummer and occasional producer Nathaniel Graham, plus bassist Zak Tozer, and barely out of their teens began playing shows around their native Kent, they had a lot of favourable signs in the background. They’ve progressed quickly, recording demos and gigging as much as finishing off A-levels would allow. The DNA of their personal histories was clearly giving the music a special emotional power. At the beginning of what will undoubtedly be a long and fascinating road, with many breathtaking views, Eden Circle are making a seriously auspicious start.
