John Common & Blinding Flashes of Light

JOHN COMMON & BLINDING FLASHES OF LIGHT
John Common sometimes wishes he were a filmmaker or a painter, but due to a run-in with his brother’s record collection at an impressionable age, he ended up with a bad case of the rock and an obsession for making music instead. He’s constantly writing songs… they range from raucous and snarly, to beautiful and introspective. He plays with an incredibly talented group of musicians, artists and friends, drawn from Colorado’s indie music scene. “Blinding Flashes of Light kind of stretches the definition of what a band is… It’s more like a group of friends who happen to make records and play shows together.” The sound they create integrates smart lyrics with layered and lush sounds that can pin you to the wall, break your heart, or just send you off thinking for a while.
