Based in the rural and historic lead mining town of Mineral Point Wisconsin, Point Five plays genuine acoustic music with an emphasis on Americana, folk, old-time, bluegrass and alternative country, often blending these genres with unique arrangements. Point Five and the charming town they call home are both like well kept secrets--you happen upon it from off the highway or wandering into the local bar and you tell only your best friends. While the secret is coming out (they were highlighted on WPR's Simply Folk this year and are highlighted on a regional radio ad), the band loves to play local Dodgeville and Mineral Point bars and southwestern WI stages. The band consists of Monica (lead vocals) and Aaron Dunn (lead vocals, harmony vocals, rhythm guitar), Paul Biere (banjo, dobro), Andy Hatch (mandolin), Carole Spelic' (double bass) and Meghan Dudle (fiddle).

PECATONICA by POINT FIVE is a terrific recording, chocked full of wonderful songs about love, life, family, and memories, with fine vocals, and excellent instrumental performances. This may not be your grandfather's bluegrass, but I know one thing for sure, he'd love it! I whole heartedly recommend this CD. Also, try to catch them live. They're a terrific band and a lot of fun.
