Bouncing between structured songwriting and live improvisations, this quirky quintet gained notability in the Baltimore jam scene for their authentic, inspired performances as well as their love for, and commitment to, the local music community.
5 Spot’s distinctive sound is most appreciated for its spacious grooves and elastic lyricism. The group plays with collaborative dynamics of tension and release, using musicality as a way to expand the consciousness of each song’s deeper meaning.
5 Spot got their start with a monthly residency at the Cat's Eye Pub. This unique experience allowed them 4-hour long "live rehearsals" where they could fine-tune their listening, communication, and overall performance in front of an audience eager to boogie. These humble origins have become a sturdy foundation for the band's development, attracting growing crowds at their monthly show and giving them opportunities to play increasingly larger stages and events in Baltimore and beyond.
