The live experience
What reaches the room
Solar Circus, led by guitarist and visionary Mark Diomede, emerged from the North Jersey scene in the late 1980s and left a lasting imprint on the improvisational rock and dance music spectrum. Known for their Cosmic Dance Music fusion—melding rock, country, swing, funk, reggae, and world music—the band built a devoted live circuit following and earned recognition through Relix magazine and local awards. While Solar Circus was most active from 1989 to 1997, Diomede has continued to shape the scene through his ongoing projects, including Juggling Suns.
