Everyday People was formed in January, 2015 by
veteran Timbalero Andy Sierra with a vision of
bringing together a combination of talented,
positive people, great music, and having a good
time. Using this synergy, Everyday People appeals
to a wide variety of music lovers and dancers.
The real flavor of the band comes from good
people just doing what they love to do – play music!
Everyday People features two outstanding lead vocalists, a versatile percussion-driven rhythm section, and a highly polished 3-man horn section, with some of Monterey Bay’s top-notch, seasoned players.
The reward of a smile and people on the
dance floor is the essence of Everyday
People. We present a very professional,
energetic, and fun performance that appeals

music lovers and dancers. Everyday People
incorporates a perfect blend of musical
genres, professional musicianship and stage
