FIVE IN A HAND

Five in a Hand started with only three members Aj, Brian and Nate. Mostly they hung out, jamming and playing pool. After a few months the random licks and progressions developed into songs such as 93% Lean, Empty Bottle and Bunch O' Little Fishies. Soon a small set list was developed and the band started playing open mics and small house parties. At this point the band was still nameless, until one night while playing pool at Sammys in Cedar Rapids, Aj reached into the table for the pool ball...

Five in a Hand started with only three members Aj, Brian and Nate. Mostly they hung out, jamming and playing pool. After a few months the random licks and progressions developed into songs such as 93% Lean, Empty Bottle and Bunch O' Little Fishies. Soon a small set list was developed and the band started playing open mics and small house parties. At this point the band was still nameless, until one night while playing pool at Sammys in Cedar Rapids, Aj reached into the table for the pool balls to rack up a new game, when he pulled out five pool balls in one hand! Surprised by the seemingly impossible event the band became Five in a Hand. Soon after a great fan and better friend named Percy expressed interest in joining the group. After hearing his unique style and adaptation to the groups already ever-changing style, Percy became the fourth member of the band. The band was feeling great about their new addition but was still in need of a drummer. After playing with a few drummers they finally found someone to permanently fill the spot, Alfred. He was fun, full of energy and 100% rock and roll. Since forming the final line up they have played several festivals including Camp Euphoria, Fall Frolic, Fire in the Flatlands, Future History, and Summer Camp. And have played with artists including; That 1 Guy, Mike Dillions Go-Go Jungle, and The Dead Kenny G's. The group has also had the privilege of becoming great friends with several local and regional artists, without a doubt every member of Five in a hand would say this is one of the greatest experiences of their lives and are happy to share it with all of you! Thanks for all your support WOOOOOOOOO!
