The Five and Dimers are a six piece Americana group made up of Matt Taul (vocals, rhythm guitar) Pete Klein (lead guitar and lap steel), Matt Mcgibany (fiddle), Adam Peipert (banjo, back-up vocals), John Masinelli (bass, back -up vocals) and Jeff Walker (drums, percussions). Formed in 2008 through a common love of roots music and desire to create and share locally grown original music.
All of the members background and influences are too numerous to mention, but to listen to The Five and Dimers you’ll hear a loosely structured, non synthetic country sound that is quickly evolving as their own. The Five and Dimers approach to music is simple, play good songs. They are not interested in playing today’s hits, but creating songs with close friends that will stand the test of time. The lyrics are thought provoking and the music is intelligently arranged with an occasional sonic surprise thrown in for good measure.
you guys were definitely on it sat nite at the pub, great show! there was only one thing that could've made it better. some tasty percussion. I know a guy that would fit in perfectly LOL.
