Common Genes ist eine dreiköpfige Band aus Tirol, die seit 2016 ihr vielseitiges Repertoire aus Genres wie Folk, Singer-Songwriter, Blues, Country, Rock und Pop auf die Bühnen bringt. Die Grundidee besteht darin, eine respektvolle Interpretation von Songs zu versuchen, welche die Bandmitglieder unabhängig voneinander kurze, längere oder gar schon lange Zeit begleiten. Garniert mit einigen eigenen Songs streifen die drei Musiker durch die neuere Musikgeschichte. Deren Liveauftritte sind geprägt von einer lockeren Atmosphäre, die das Publikum zum entspannten Zuhören, freudigen Mitsingen und ausgelassenen Tanzen animiert.
