Formed in 2010, The Common Kings’ membership is comprised of guitarist Taumata Grey, lead singer JR King, bassist Lui Kirimaua, and drummer Jerome Taito. Heavily rooted in the sounds and culture of Hawaii, Fiji, Samoa, and Tongo, The Common Kings met in Costa Mesa, California, where they began collaborating and combined their mutual and diverging interests. Beginning in 2011 the band started releasing pop-leaning reggae singles, which favourably highlighted the laid-back yet upbeat nature of the band’s output.
The Common Kings’ debut single, “Fly”, was released in May 2011 with a strong R&B/soul influence. Reggae beats and rhythms were found for the subsequent single “Alcohol”, nonetheless the likeable and spirited vocals of JR King remained. A pair of singles followed in 2012, “Wade in Your Water” and “No Other Love” featuring J-Boog and Fiji. Independently released and self-produced, the singles boast high-production value, with a the releases earning radio play in pockets around the U.S.
Following a collaboration with Jay Keyz on his single “This Songs About You”, Common Kings released their debut EP “#Weontour”. Spawning the subsequent single “Idgaf”, the record introduced the band to a sizeable new audience outside of California. A second EP followed shortly afterwards entitled “Summer Anthems”, which produced the single “Sickness (Acoustic Single)”. 2014 brought a string of new singles for the refined group, including “Your Turn”, “Kingdom Come”, and “Before You Go”, following which the band became the first support act on the American vocal group Fifth Harmony’s “The Reflection Tour”.

I went to a Common Kings concert last year in riverside and even though juyner had a boot on his foot and couldn't move much, it was still lively. This year without the boot on his foot, him along with the rest of the Common Kings members gave us a show we'll never forget. There was so much going on that you couldn't help but be excited for what was about to happen. Common kings really know how to engage a crowd and get them going. This is my second time going to a Common kings concert and I can surely say that this won't be my last time.

Amazing show from one of the best bands around. The whole festival was great but they really rocked it. I can’t wait to see them again later this summer. There new music is great, but I would have liked to have seen a little more of their older hits like Always Beside You and Since I woke up. I hope they play those hits in Cocoa when we see them next! They even threw in a little Bob Marley to really be a reggae band.

Wasn't that good of a show, they rocked it really too much for a Reggae group, no horns... you can't skimp on horns in Reggae music, and then no encore. That's right, they just played to the end, and turned the lights off and left. Kinda disappointed for a band that I wanted to see so badly. If I had to choose again between these guys or Iration, I'll be going to the Iration show, which my friends told me was epic!

Super great night with the Common Kings, best time EVER. The Common Kings aren't only amazing performers, but they're really awesome entertainers too. Even when there were songs we didn't know, we could sing along because there would we parts where we had to repeat them and they would also stop and restart the song so by then you already knew most the words. You won't go home disappointed

The Common Kings concert was AMAZING!!! The show was tremendous I would most definitely go see them again! they kept the crowd movin'! Only thing is I'd rather go to a 21+ show, the crowd was different in Portland, OR.
Keep it reggae!

This was my first time seeing Common Kings live and the show was amazing. They were super creative with each intro to their song. I enjoyed rocking out to the light and swaying to the beat. Def going to see them again at Cali Roots Fest
