Common Sense is not just another reggae band from Orange County. With a SoCal background and a small beach town attitude Common Sense took their reggae-rock influences and created their own style. Nick Hernandez started Common Sense in Santa Barbara while studying music at UCSB. His soulful vocal style and natural stage presence gained the group an immediate loyal following. He then moved back to South Laguna where he joined up with Billy Sherman whose upbeat guitar and melodic sensibility gained Common Sense more attention. Larry Young grew up in Houston, Texas playing bass in rock and reggae bands. He moved to California where his funky bass style fit the band perfectly. Drummer Drew Hester added his rock steady beats completing the band sound. This new lineup went on to record Common Senses first album, Live at the Belly Up. Common Sense went on to make four more records and has been playing live shows around the country non-stop. Their sound has been constantly evolving and their message becoming more powerful. Phil Gough, a long time friend, recently joined the band. His masterful guitar playing has brought Common Sense to a new level.
