Keep the Circle Unbroken began in 2020 as a series of concerts presented across many of Victoria’s iconic regional towns featuring an incredible line-up of Victorian musicians, spanning two generations, and performing songs inspired by one of the most influential albums in the history of popular music, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band’s 1972 album Will The Circle Be Unbroken.

The roots of Keep The Circle Unbroken go back to 1972 when Californian country-rockers the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band released an album that reconnected divided US generations at odds due to the perpetuating Vietnam War, hippie counter-culture and a troubling Richard Nixon presidential term.

Fifty years after its original release, the spirit and music of Will The Circle Be Unbroken comes alive in the concept of Row Jerry Crow’s mandolinist, songwriter Delsinki and fiddle player John Kendall.

The circle of artists represents the sitting around a campfire, being at the family dinner table, or at a traditional music session, like that which the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band created for the recording of their triple LP.
