Based out of Cookeville, Tennessee, The Calm & Commotion boast a flavorful blend of original songs focused on inviting melodies, rich, vocal harmonies, and thoughtful lyrics.
Formed in the winter of 2015 by lead vocalist Jay Grijalva and lead guitarist Chris Greenwood, the band was fully realized by the addition of drummer/mandolin player Shane Malugin and bassist Jeremy Phipps.

The Calm & Commotion's central focus is to make great music and share it!
