“Life’s a circus and this is The Circus Life.”

Frequent listeners to the Circus Life podcast recognize that phrase because it’s how host Justin Trawick begins each episode of the podcast which is recorded live in remote locations in and around the nation’s capital. The interview-based podcast features conversations between Justin and influential and interesting individuals in music and culture.

The podcast recently celebrated its sixth anniversary with a concert at legendary 9:30 Club. Local reggae band Feel Free headlined the bill, which also featured local artists Abigail Furr, Mystery Friends, The Dirty Grass Players from Baltimore, and Justin’s own band, Justin Trawick and the Common Good.
