Friday At Five is not only a time all of us look forward to. It's also a South Florida-based band you can look forward to seeing now! Friday At Five took over the stage at Throw Social in Delray Beach on July 18 with talented guitarist Carey Peak, vivacious lead singer Carrie Wicks, the fierce and fiery Fernando Santomaggio on bass, and beat master Jordan Welch on drums.
The exceptionally gifted Santomaggio filled in for the band's bass player, Gonzalo Gallarza, for multiple shows this month. Santomaggio, who is the bass player in Big Rock Band, and has performed with a plethora of bands in the South Florida scene over the years, crushed covers of No Doubt's "Hella Good" and Jet's "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" and kept the vibe irie with Bob Marley's "Could You Be Loved."
“I enjoyed the energetic performance, the diverse song selection, and fun vibe!” Santomaggio said of playing bass with the band. "They know how to engage the crowd! I like how their audience is very into the show."
With Wicks belting out bangers by Lady Gaga, Journey, Van Halen, Guns N Roses, and more with the actual power and tonality of the original artists, it's impossible not to get into the show.
Peak is literally delivering a Peak performance soloing the "Star Spangled Banner" Hendrix-style, killer Van Halen guitar solos, and covering crowd favorites such as "Should I Stay Or Should I Go," "Wagon Wheel," and "Chicken Fried."
Drummer Jordan Welch amped up the crowd fusing portions of "Gin and Juice" into "Mary Jane's Last Dance" and "Feel So Close" By Calvin Harris. Friday At Five is a traveling party you need to experience yourself. Take five and check out Friday At Five. For the latest dates on where you can catch this band next, visit Fridayatfiveband.com.
