C5 Biography

The band C5 was initially formed in the late 1990's by our lead guitar guru Christopher Booras in an aircraft hanger in Jacksonville, Florida.

The hanger ---- C5!!

C5 has played popular, energetic, alternative cover songs since its inception and this tradition continues today. The band's main influences include Seether, Bush, Tool, 3 Doors Down, and Green Day, to name a few. The song list always remains current and we're working very hard on new original music for audiences to enjoy as well.

Since 2000, C5 continues to perform at private parties, civic events, and at local venues, such as Lynch's Irish Pub, Culhane's Irish Pub, Brewster's, On The Rocks, Twisted Sisters, Endo Exo, the Baseball Grounds, Sparetime Bar and Grille and even the Jacksonville Landing, to name a few. We've played to support and bolster small businesses as well, such as Tijuana Flats locally, and most recently, have enjoyed playing to support important fund-raising groups, such as this summers' Boobsapalooza Tour and Walk For Life.

Our band has four experienced musicians, beginning with the groups founder Chris Booras. Chris plays guitar and has been firmly entrenched in the music scene here in Jacksonville for the past 10 years. He continues to be the driving force behind C5. Jim OCallaghan is C5's drummer who joined the band early in 2002, but whose resume dates back to 1982. Before joining C5, Jim played for 4 years at Auburn University, followed by joining a band called Fausch. He performed with them throughout South Alabama and Florida's Panhandle. As our front man, Rob Powell just recently joined the band --- He has been playing locally as a solo artist as a singer and has performed and won countless Karyoke contests this side of the Mississippi! We joke, but Rob is a very serious and experienced singer who takes pride in providing a GREAT show and who has a very distinctive voice...you've GOT to come see a show and watch him perform...you'll be quite surprised! Jon Evans is the newest "old" member, joining us this summer as our rhythm guitarist and additional vocalist! Lastly, joining the band for the second time, but this time on bass, is Fred Cruz. He's been a guitar specialist for us in the past, but his talents switched him to bass for our needs. His diversity has added a new dimension to C5. Fred is another of our strong back-up vocalist as well, something we've missed having, adding even more to the music that is C5!

C5 plays local venues as listed above, but we are also available for private parties as well! We specialize in parties --- Playing popular, alternative music we take great pride in performing a great show up to 4.5 hours long, using top-of-the-line band equipment, plus providing our own lights and PA for Sound, all at a reasonable rate!

The website, www.C5Foru.com, contains complete details of the band, our music, this months song list, as well as a multimedia section that includes video, pictures, and music of recent shows. For correspondence, please contact Christopher Booras at 904-588-4096. His email is [email protected].

The only way to have a a good time this weekend is to
ACTUALLY GET OUT OF THE HOUSE!!
