Funky Southern Soul. It's as simple as that. Fifth House is steeped in the great American funk, rock and soul traditions with a decidedly southern leaning. Equally at home in a body-shaking groove or a heart-wrenching ballad, Fifth House combines a vast array of musical influences into one ear-pleasing package.

The Feeling

Come to a Fifth House show and be prepared to move and be moved. No sardonic shoe-gazing going on here. With the recent additions of trumpet and percussion to the lineup, the energy of the live show has jumped up exponentially. Expect things to get hot, sweaty, grooving, soulful and a little messy. Like it says in one of their songs, “in the Fifth House, there ain’t no down allowed”.
