We're lucky -- we have amazingly talented friends. Below are some of the incredible people we collaborate with on the ever-growing list of projects, records, schemes, plots and plans that keep getting cooked up. We'll sleep when we're dead. In the meantime, let's make more art.
Who:
Evan Mellichampe
TAGS: Evan Mellichampe John Common & Blinding Flashes of Light Bass (View All)
Evan is an inventor, bass player, designer of instruments, and cracker of jokes. He also books JC&BFoL. He's also frickin' hilarious. Bueno Huevo.
Danielle does promotions and marketing for JC&BFoL. And God bless her for that. She's the perfect mix of sugar and "Do not fuck with me." And God bless her for that. She loves music and musicians. And God bless her for that. She used to be in Up With People. I bet God already blessed her for that.
Sam Hill was born in a forest made of blown speaker cones and old rusty radio towers. She grew up in the hollowed out trunk of an eucalyptus tree tucked in a magical valley about halfway between here and there. To stay warm, she made her nest out of old three quarter sleeve concert T's and pages torn out of mid century British romance novels. She raised herself with guidance from discarded comic books and National Geographic mags from the very early 1980s. These days, she makes her living translating the dreams of tourists and strays. You can see her just about any day down by the quay.
Who:
Eryc Eyl
TAGS: Eryc Eyl Denver Post Westword John Common & Blinding Flashes of Light (View All)
Eryc is a fantastic writer. Seriously good. He's so good, I even forgive him for being a 'music critic'. He's also freakishly smart and genuinely hilarious. You should go drinking with him sometime. It's good to have friends like this -- they help you keep the pin in the grenade.
Who:
Jennifer Newell
TAGS: Jennifer Newell John Common and Blinding Flashes of Light Beautiful Empty (View All)
Jennifer Newell is "Just a little bird floatin' on a hurricane." She also frequents all things digital.
Adrienne is an incredible designer, flower sculptor, jewelry maker, seamstress and maker of beautiful things. She's been a big help to us as we try to come up with some band merch that is creative and original and supercool.
It's a little known fact that Adrienne organized every detail of the United States European invasion at Normandy during World War Two. It's true -- she was the mastermind behind D-Day.
Who:
Haleigh Palmer

Haleigh... What to say about this woman? Everything she touches becomes smarter and more elegant and beautiful and funky. She's put me and my friends up too many times to count. I owe her a thousand bottles of wine and a lifetime of music. She also runs THE COOLEST cashmere company on earth.
