This was an early evening in late May, 2004. For the first time, Green Door Promotions decided to attend open mic at the Funk Box in Baltimore Maryland. The expectation this evening was solely to find a new band to promote. After the first few performances that night, the next band to take the stage was a five piece band named, "Black River Circus". The name was interesting as well as the musicianship. We remember hearing smooth guitar work, and technical tempo changes with memorable, unpretentious lyrics. As we looked around, it was obvious the energy level in the room was elevated. As the band exited the stage they received an undeniable positive response from the crowd. Talk about being in the right place at the right time? We knew we were in the right place. We approached the band immediately after their forty minute Funk Box debut. We had a brief introduction and a rushed conversation side stage with the vocalist Tim. We asked him for a demo CD. Surprisingly we were actually presented a two track Compact disc. Track one was titled "Them Days" and track two was titled "AA". Green Door Promotions had acquired it's very first demo CD, and had just met our first band to promote. We were in business.
We have been in contact with some of the original members since that memorable open mic night in Federal Hill.
