Genre: Funk/RockCover: Donations @ DoorShow: 10PMAges: 21+Common CenterCommon Center is a 7-piece ensemble of 12-string guitar, violin, saxophone, keyboards, bass, and drums. Their compositions intermingle soft, mellifluous tones with punchy, driving rhythms—a balance between meditativeness and ferocity. The goal is transcendence. The band writes and records in Covington, Kentucky (across the river from Cincinnati). Their influences range from progressive rock and folk roots to classical music, gypsy grooves, and avant-garde groups from around the world. The lyrics explore themes of consciousness, friendship, and inter-dimensional travel. Poetry intertwines with operatic swells and occasional, dream-like overtones. Multi-part vocal and instrumental harmonies have the power to both lull and invigorate listeners. 2018 brings the release of the five-track EP, "To Swallow Something Half Your Size", with a second EP due in December. They are bonded by their collective ambition to create original music and share it with audiences everywhere.web: https://www.commoncentersounds.com/vid: https://youtu.be/ejlONTWOWvM
