Vienna Circle is a musical project by English songwriter, singer, multi-instrumentalist and producer Paul Davis. The band often described as progressive rock, combine genres such as metal, classical, hard rock, jazz, pop, experimental and folk.

After growing up in a small English village on a diet of Pink Floyd, Camel, Steely Dan and Dream Theater, Vienna Circle was formed back in 2007 by Paul Davis along with his brother Jack, and as a duo, they released 2 albums. In 2008 they released their debut album “White Clouds”, a concept album set in first World War. To their surprise and delight earned positive reviews in the press where they were flagged as rising stars in the progressive rock community.

Inspired to live up to these demands, the brother followed up White Clouds with “Silhouette Moon” in 2013. Silhouette Moon again receiving positive reviews across the progressive rock community including a double page feature in Prog Magazine. Silhouette Moon saw the band release an hour long “making of” documentary along with a book titled “Wreathed in Dreams”, documenting the writing process of the album.

The years that followed Silhouette Moon would see co-founding member Jack Davis leaving the band on good terms due to other commitments. With Paul Davis now the only permanent member of Vienna Circle, he started work on writing, recording and producing what would become Vienna Circles third studio album “Secrets of the Rising Sun” on which he wrote and performed all instruments except for the drums, leaving this to regular collaborator Alex Micklewright.

Released in April 2021, Secrets of the Rising Sun has seen Paul take the band toward a more instrumental, progressive, guitar led sound whilst still capturing the immense beauty and poise that Vienna Circle followers have come to expect.
