  1. Common Shiner

    Common Shiner is an indie rock/Folk band originally from Grand Rapids, Michigan and now based in Chicago, Illinois . Started in 2002 by songwriters Morgan Foster and Tim Haig while both were attending Calvin College, Common Shiner varies in style from blues to rock to folk and back again. The group started out as mostly a hobby, but has since been established as a more serious endeavor, making regular appearances at a wide range of venues throughout the Chicago, Illinois and Grand Rapids, Michigan areas. The band has also toured the East Coast several times. In July, 2007, they played at the South Haven, Michigan Harborfest in front of a crowd of over 5,000 people, their largest audience to date. The current band members, drummer Vijay Bangalore, keyboardist/vocalist/songwriter Michael James Brooks, and acoustic guitarist/vocalist/songwriter Morgan Foster, as well as former guitarist Andrew Huisjen and former bassist Zach Hache, all met as undergraduates at Calvin College. When Hache moved to Arizona for work, the band hired Bangalore's long-time friend Jake Chandler to take over on bass. "When I first started playing with Morgan more than four years ago, I thought it was just going to be something that I'd do here and there for fun," Huisjen told interviewer Eric Mitts of Recoil Magazine. Instead, the band played at every opportunity, building a loyal following at their repeat venues, including Grand Rapids' Black Rose and The Intersection. The band relocated in the fall of 2007 with the goal of dedicating themselves to music full-time. They soon began a grassroots mainstream radio campaign, and their single entitled "No Melody" has reached as high as #142 on Mediabase's Adult Contemporary radio charts.
