October 2014 update! So what has Five By Five been up to?

Hey Fivers!!

I know it's been a long time since I sent out an update. Things have just been so crazy around town for us that it's been hard to sit down and write to tell you all the exciting things we've been up to!  So grab a cup of coffee or something and have a seat. Let's catch up! This is a long one, so apologies up front!

First of all, Thank you Thank you Thank you to all the Fivers who have been coming to all of our shows this year faithfully. We've had an incredibly successful year and we're going into fall and the holidays with full hearts from all the love we get from our friends and fans at every show! We really appreciate the support. We love what we do, but you guys make it that much more rewarding and fun! So from the bottom of our hearts, thank you!!

We've played some awesome venues this past summer. We met a lot of new friends and had a lot of fun!! We're really looking forward to what 2015 has in store. We're lining up a lot of fun and adventure for Five By Five in the new year and we'd love to have you join us on the journey!

2014 has been a great year for Five By Five. We played a couple cancer benefits including (for the second year in a row) the Man/Woman of the Year challenge for LLS, completed the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, helped raise a little money for Silverbrook United Methodist Church in Lorton VA and participated in The Electric Palm Band Madness. Five by Five's participation in The Band Madness is our way of showing support by promoting the
camaraderie and friendly competition within all groups and musicians. We had a blast and look forward to next year's competition! I'd say that's a pretty successful year, but we're not finished!! There are a couple months left to good old 2014!














SO, What's up next you ask??
