Take one part Dire Straits, add a portion of Pink Floyd, another part of 70's rock sensibilities along with Americana.

Add in two twin brothers from Stockholm, Sweden, Put them in the desert of southern New Mexico.

Add all those ingredients together and you get Secret Circus.   


 Self described as " Pagan Country, Gangster Folk, and Death Jazz", the band - which consists of Swedish twin brothers Captain Klas and Joel Ahman,- flees the cold winters of Sweden to spend the season touring the continent and in their studio "Secret Circus Studio" in Ruidoso, New Mexico.

It is in that studio where they have recorded three studio albums of 70's inspired hard rock. most recently the critically acclaimed  2017 release "The Beginning is Near', one of the finest albums I' heard last year, and is highly recommended.

It's also in these Ruiodoso studios where they produce videos for other artists such as CW Ayon, Gleewood, Tom Bennett,  Robyn Cage and, Johnny Azari among many others.  For more info on that, you can go to Secret Circus Studios
