Rock Soul Motown R & B Jazz Standards
One of the Bay
Area's hottest groups, with over 25 years experience, dynamic, smooth,
energetic, and versatile are just a few of the adjectives that have
been used to describe Five Point 0. Each member of Five Point 0
is an experienced, high-level musician with both producing and recording
credits on their resumes, and each brings a unique sound and quality
to the band.
The vocal combination of lead singers Carl Norde and Cheryl Leblanc
brings together that rare alliance of powerful sound and sensuously
smooth harmonic tones that send chills down one's spine. Rounding
out the band are Kenny Boyd on keys and lead vocals, Amy Nicole
Levine, keys and vocals; Will Williams on lead guitar and lead vocals,
Steve Williams on bass, and Eldon Bell on drums. Saxophonist John
Valentino can also be added for some extra punch.
Their extensive and sophisticated musical repertoire blends various
styles ranging from soulful R & B to kickin' Rock and Roll to the
classic elegance of Jazz Standards. In addition to their ample song
list, Five Point 0 is happy to learn any special request that you
might have. Guaranteed to pack the dance floor at your special event,

"We wanted to let you know
how much we appreciate Five Point 0's contribution to the Gala.
We have nothing but extremely positive comments about the music
for the evening. I knew from the moment I heard the band play
that we had made the right choice and I wasn't disappointed!
Also we appreciate the extra touches like learning the Fairfield
songs and 'I only have eyes for you'."
Lisa La Farga-Stevens, The Solano
County Historical Society
"Five Point 0 was the only band for our
wedding. Being an entertainer, I would not settle for anything
less than an extraordinary band who was musically superior to
all the working bands around. My fiancée and I checked out several
renowned and highly respected bands in the area and when it
came down to it, you had all the right songs, appearance, sounds,
energy and character we were looking for. Not only were you
wonderful to do business with, but as people everyone was very
cheerful, kind and enthusiastic. You repeatedly made us feel
like we were the boss and catered to every special request planned
and unplanned. Surprisingly, while you were the best band we
could find, you were also the most affordable! Because so many
of our guests asked about the band at the wedding, we plan to
send your contact information inside our thank you notes. If
that isn't a ringing endorsement I don't know what is. Thank
you for not just playing our wedding, but for making our wedding
a PARTY that no one will ever forget."

"When Lauren and I were planning our wedding
the most important aspect was the band. Our main goal was to
have the wedding revolve around the dance floor and the only
way we were going to do this was to have the best band possible.
When our good friends the Dorbands saw Five Point 0 at the American
Heart Association fundraiser event, they knew immediately that
this is the band to have at anything. A friend told us to check
out Five Point 0, we went to see them at Pier 23 Café and the
first thing we saw was how the band was on fire, the dance floor
was packed and everyone was getting down. Eldon and the band
were just going from song to song, without stopping. If you
want people to stay on the dance floor you don't want the band
to stop between songs and Five Point 0 surely kept going and
wouldn't let people stop. We booked them that very moment. About
a month prior to our wedding we sat down with Eldon and the
band to talk about some of the songs we had in mind. After a
few minutes we realized that they were the pros and we should
let them decide, boy was that a good idea. Lauren and I wanted
Islands in the Stream as our main song, but also wanted Ghetto
Superstar. All of a sudden one of the members said why don't
you start with Island in the Stream as your first dance and
go into the fast version. This was surely unconventional, but
an unbelievable idea. It was ideas like this that made Five Point 0 an awesome band to work with and to have at our wedding.
We had about 200 guests from New York and San Francisco and
they were surely partiers. Being from New York and knowing that
my guests are hard to please, Five Point 0 had their work cut
out for them, but rose to the occasion. Four months later, people
still tell us how awesome the wedding was, how the band made
the night and that they are going to book them for their wedding.
Boy are we excited to see them get down again. If you want a
rockin band, you have to book Five Point 0."

"We were so impressed by the talent and
professionalism of Five Point 0 for our wedding reception. You
all did a fabulous job in getting our wedding guests out of
their seats and on the dance floor with your singing, playing
and enthusiasm! Everyone in your band has such great musical
and performing talent, and your love of performing shows! We
really appreciated your versatility in playing a wide variety
of songs to match our specific preferences. We have received
many, many compliments from our guests on how great the band
was! We also really appreciate your follow-through, responsiveness
and reliability throughout the planning process. Planning a
wedding is stressful enough, and we always felt very comfortable
with your business practices and service. You were prepared,
on-time and organized on our wedding day, and we really appreciate
that. And most of all, thank you so much for learning one of
our favorite songs "Someone Like You" by Van Morrison - at such
short notice. You performed the song beautifully, and it really
was a dream come true to be able to dance to that song on our
wedding day. Thank you very much for making our wedding reception
a truly special, fun, impressive and worry-free event!"
Stephanie and Dave Long
"We recommend Five Point 0 to anyone who
wants to have an energetic, fun, amazing band at their wedding.
They sounded great, played the wide range of music that we had
requested, and seemed to be excited to be a part of our wedding.
All of our guests ended up on the dance floor and having a terrific
time. The band was so flexible with us...they helped MC our
reception, let two of my family members sing, and took specific
requests from us ahead of time. They were such a lively group
and really helped to make our reception the celebratory and
exuberant night we were hoping for. If we were to do it all
over again, we'd hire them without any hesitation. In the future,
we plan to go and see them perform whenever possible."
