Having been described as a "group of 5 slightly goofy, eminently lovable guys that have so much fun together on stage it makes the audience want to take part , " T Minus 5 has toured the west creating smiles on the faces of the audience, both young, and not so young. In 2001, T Minus 5, was catapulted into stardom when they competed in, and took first place in the Rocky Mountain Harmony Sweepstakes. Since then, they have toured the West, performing for congressman, governors, and all around important people. Their sound is made up of tight harmony, blended with a little bit country, a little bit rock and roll, and topped off with a whole lot of fun.

Low Rider Dance to the Music I'll Still be Loving You Your Love Wrapped Up In You One Voice Midnight Daze American Woman When I'm Sixty Four Mayberry He Still Loves Me Show Me the Way |
We know we're in for a good time with the first rock-solid vocal percussion beats of War's "Low Rider" come on T-minus 5's "radio," which segues into Sly and the Family Stone's rock anthem "Dance to the Music," an electronic-funky, faux-horned masterpiece. Group member Shawn Satterthwaite contributes the sweet, romantic "Your Love," other nice originals are "Wrapped Up In You" by Wayne Kirkpatrick, and " Midnight Daze" by T Minus 5. Excellent covers of Lennon/McCartney's "When I'm Sixty-Four," "Mayberry," Barry Manilow's "One Voice," "He Still Loves Me" (arranged by our friend Richard "Bob" Green, and The Guess Who's "American Woman" add to the good feeling. We loved T-Minus 5 at the 2001 Harmony Sweeps Finals, and their great harmonies and down home song selection have only gotten better. Every song on "Road Trip" is a winner!

We had the pleasure of hearing the 6 male voices of T Minus 5 at the 2001 Harmony Sweeps Finals, where they performed as Rocky Mountain Regional Champs. The tight harmonies, country flavor and humor that wowed the crowd that night are present in spades on ÉAnd Counting. In fact, "You Can Depend On Me," "Grow Old With You," the hilarious "Redneck Avenger," "Welcome To The Jungle" (which sounds suspiciously like "The Lion Sleeps Tonight"), and "Pie Jesu" were all part of their electric 12-minute performance. "Best Years of our Lives," from "Shrek," "I Love You," "Precious Lord," Paul Simon's "You Can Call Me Al," U2's "All I Want," John Fogerty's classic "Down On The Corner" and "Pie Jesu"<ETH>it's all good stuff.
