Common Jack

John Gardner is a singer-songwriter crafting cinematic folk-pop under the moniker Common Jack. The project was born during a 3-year world tour with the Tony Award-winning Broadway show, Once, when a backstage conversation with Glen Hansard at the Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles inspired Gardner to record the songs he'd been writing for years.

Known for his vivid storytelling and expressive vocals, Common Jack has amassed millions of streams, most notably for his latest EP, Lake Song. Atwood Magazine described his music as evoking "a road trip in an open top car, gliding with the hair blowing, eyes squinting in the sun, and bare arms stretched high."
