Nick Hernandez, Larry Young, Billy Sherman and Phil Gough have been brothers in music for years and are committed to crafting and performing soulful, intelligent music that tells stories inspired by real life experiences.Common Sense got their start in the college music scene of Santa Barbara and quickly moved up to dominate the Southern California club scene. After nearly three decades together, the band has now toured with legendary reggae artists like Ziggy Marley, Steel Pulse and Jimmy Cliff. Their far-reaching style has also earned them spots on national tours like the Van’s WARP Tour, Reggae Sun Splash and Reggae on the River. Noted for their high-energy live shows, the band is constantly pushing the musical envelope and expanding its loyal fan base.
