Artist History It's springtime in southern Louisiana. Three friends sit pondering their similar frustration. Life is movin forward with the day of adulthood not far down the road, and each of them have little to show of their musical adventures. Out of dire need and a desperate challenge of the soul, these three men set upon a journey to create an album. A single album of humble intention that would prove to the world they were more than talk of greatness and forever show they were indeed crazy young musicians. Half way along their journey, the Common Stock: Three Legged Stool project stabilized with the addition of a drummer/vocalist to form what today exists as Common Stock, the band. The preliminary EP release of the groups first album, Four Legged Stool, has already recieved airplay in California along with recording label exposure in Detriot, Michigan with the full length version due out by the end of the year. Not too shabby for such humble intentions, don't you think?
