BIO

Common People is an alternative rock band comprised of Nicky Winegardner (vocals), Cormac Cadden (drums), Asher Thomson (guitar), Sam Belzer (guitar), and Chuck Gray (bass). Formed in Los Angeles in 2022, the band quickly began writing and performing local shows together. Initial demos caught the attention of Cage The Elephant co-founder and guitarist Brad Shultz, leading to the band signing with his Parallel Vision label in partnership with Big Loud Rock. In 2025, the band released a series of singles and joined Cage The Elephant and The Criticals on their respective tours. Earlier this year, Common People made their festival debut at Innings Festival before supporting Rainbow Kitten Surprise, The Bends, and Congress The Band on their respective Spring tours. The band went on to join Young The Giant on select dates and deliver festival sets at Bonnaroo’s Outeroo, Minnesota Yacht Club, and Austin City Limits. This fall, Common People will continue their run of live dates with Porch Light, Brigitte Calls Me Baby, Arcy Drive, and The Bends. Common People’s debut EP, Games – produced by Brad Shultz – is out now
