Our Story

We're Five Dollar Down — born in 2017 as just two folks with acoustic guitars jamming around Ottawa. Fast forward to today and we've cranked up the volume, added some awesome bandmates, and transformed into the dance-party-starting machine you see now!

When COVID hit, we thought, "People need more fun, not less!" So we went full-band and never looked back. Our missing? Get those asses shakin Nothing makes us happier than seeing a packed dance floor with everyone belting out their favorite songs.

From rock anthems to country boot-stompers, alternative hits to dance floor classics — we've got the tunes to make your night unforgettable.
