What to expect

Music in Common is as adaptable as they are adept and we strive to put you, the client, first. We are here to serve to the best of our abilities. We have toured extensively all over the U.S., Middle East, and Far East playing in a wide range of venues for a wide variety of events. Our material is a mix of originals and covers designed to uplift, entertain, and inspire. We are most often an acousti trio of guitar, percussion, and three vocalists, but can expand to as large as an 8-piece band. We are a great fit for listening events, "mingling" music, and happy occasions to get people feeling good. If you are looking for a conventional cover band, such as a wedding and large-scale corporate event bands designed to get people can partying hard, we're not your guys (and girl). We play a lot of private parties, house concerts, and conferences as well as a wide range of venues from coffee houses to large festivals. Let us know how we can help make your event everything you envision.
