Common Crossing
by Brian Mosher
I’m going to share a story of how my band, Common
Crossing, came to be. There may be different accounts,
I may remember things differently than other band
members, but this is our history in a nutshell. Before I
continue, I’d like to say thanks to our drummer Chris
“Doug” Cronkhite, bassist Shane Mountain, and
guitarist Josh Kovach for giving me the opportunity
to play music with them for the past number of
years. Also, I’d like to tip my hat to original members
Nathan Brewer and Tom Peters. And there will never
be a more dedicated, tolerant, and capable roadie and
friend than the late Matthew Turnbull.

Word got out and we were invited to play in several
dorm rooms
