Good People

Late August, 2007, Brian Thompson hops on a plane at Logan Airport in Boston, Massachusetts, to start a new life. Now, almost two years later, in Denver, Colorado, he is sitting in the basement of the “Steej House” (the practice space that Good People has developed), writing and creating songs with his 3 band mates; Ben, Timmy and Kevin, who are more importantly his 3 best friends.
Brian met guitarist/vocalist Ben Rogers in the fall of ’08 and the two began writing and playing acoustic shows around the Denver metro area until they met drummer, Kevin Sarg and bassist, Timmy Iburg. After many long nights, endless fast food trips and gallons of water consumed, the four members came into their own to form a hip hop/reggae/acoustic/rock style that has a uniqueness only Good People can create.
Good People, a simple but meaningful name, was derived from the band’s positive outlook on life and belief that everyone has a pure heart and should be respected for who they are. “Live with what you have because what you have is what your blessed with”, A line from their song “White Boy”, is a great example of the band’s relentless approach to inspire people and show them that the glass is always half full. Good People has a strong belief in the power of music, and pure musicianship, each song they write has an emotion behind it, their music is their therapist and their love is their music.
Good People has now been playing around the Denver metro area for four months, including gigs in Greeley, CO. They recently placed second out of thirty six bands in the Auraria Campus Battle of the Bands, and have packed out their local mexican cantina, Fidel's countless times. They currently have a lot on their plate as they plan to bring their emotion and love of music to you where ever that may be.
