Below you’ll find a growing concert video, illustration and photo archive from many of our shows over recent years. As Common Ground is an all-volunteer run organization, we need your help filling out this section of the site. Next time you come to one of our shows, bring a camera, video camera (assuming we have the artist’s permission), or yes, even a sketch pad, and help us document the great music and spirit you’ll find at Common Ground. Then email your images to us at commongroundfusw@aol.com. We’ll make sure to credit you for your work, and who knows, if we post it online, we may even give you a free brownie!
Thanks!

South Presbyterian Church begins to fill up in anticipation of the show. The concert raised funds to help maintain the church’s historic century old pipe organ (seen at rear), which had been damaged by vandals in the previous summer. (Photo courtesy of Jim Metzger)
