We are just a local Christian Country/southern Gospel band out of southern Indiana. We've known each other for many years and have sung and played together in different groups and situations.
We just want to be used of the Lord and do our best to get the message out that Jesus loved and died for us and rose again as a promise of eternal life.
We have been given original songs that we think people should hear. We're not looking to break into the big time business. We just want to be a willing vessel.
Why this name?
Three of us were together in another group called The Family Circle. Our drummer thought that it seemed like a fitting name.
Do you play live?
Yes.
Where ever we can get to and still get home to make it to work.
We love it!
They are all special when we feel like we have done our best and we see the Holy Spirit move.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Gives bands, singers, songs the opportunity to be heard by so many other people that eventually the music industry will have to take notice or they could become obsolete.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I doubt it. Too much politics and too many shady people just out to make a buck.
Band History:
The band is made up of: Sonny Kixmiller of Freelandville, IN (drums), Keith Pinnick of Oaklandcity, IN (bass guitar/bass), Paul Hulen of Bruceville, IN (baritone), Tom Spencer of Birdseye, IN (lead guitar/tenor) and Ronnie Baize of Edwardsport, IN (rhythm guitar/lead).
Sonny,Keith and Ronnie were in the Family Cirlce before their break up in 1998.
Tom, Sonny, and Keith were together for a short time in a group called the Five Smooth Stones.
In 2001 Sonny and Keith called Ronnie about starting up another group. Not long after they started practicing together Tom dropped by just to see if anyone was doing anything. That was when Circle of Friends came into being.
Paul joined the group in 2004.
Having to work around work schedules and church responsibilities the group doesn't get out as much as they would like to but get out when they can.
Your influences?
Southern Gospel, Blues, Rockabilly, Early Rock and Roll.

Equipment used:
Peavey, Fender, Carvin, whatever sounds good
Anything else...?
We could use a tenor , not necessarilly a really high voice, to allow our lead guitar player to focus on his playing.

THAT'S NO HILL FOR A CLIMBER
