“They pay soulful tribute to the soul gods without disrespecting their exhumed remains.” – No Depression

*Their emotion-packed sound radiates true soul.” – American Songwriter

Live and in the studio, the Pittsburgh-based collective The Commonheart offers feel-good positivity, Golden Rule messaging, and sweat-soaked performances that nimbly ease through blues, vintage soul, and rock. The band is bonded by familial-like ties and a desire to foster spiritual uplift. Among its ranks are female backup singers, drums, bass, guitar, a horn section, and keyboards. Out front is Clinton, a lightning bolt charismatic frontman with dynamically expressive pipes that effortlessly traverse bluesy pleading and honeyed balladeering.

The second single, “Hustler” is an anthem for perseverance. Told thru the eyes of a street hustler’s mind, this song offers their interpretation of what it takes to make a living in this world thru the hardest times. The narrative runs parallel for anyone that’s finding their way thru life with grit, fearlessness & drive.
