The Commoners

Possessing a sound drawn from the deep, oaken belly of a whiskey barrel, The Commoners are a five-piece roots/blues Rock outfit hailing from Toronto, Canada.

They offer a unique blend of tried and true musical elements, infusing their sound with high-energy riffs, soulful vocals, and rich harmonies that collectively transport the listener on a journey through an authentic Southern-style rock experience.

"The Black Crowes are a big influence for us. Derek Trucks, Marcus King, and the Allman Brothers, of course. These are the bands that we wear on our sleeves as we aspire to create our own music." - Chris Medhurst

Channeling their deep respect and admiration for roots/rock trailblazers, The Commoners incorporate rhythmic stylings inspired by Motown's groove masters and emotive vocals akin to Sam Cooke and Otis Redding, capturing a sound that is very much of the here and now.

"The Commoners find common ground in the classic rock of Free and Led Zeppelin, and the Southern flavorings of Black Crowes and Blackberry Smoke, by combining tasty riffs and soul-tinged vocals." - R'N'R Magazine
