The Lower 5th Duo performing live on Max Ink Radio

May 31, 2025

The Lower 5th founding members Luke Jorgersen, Cory Swadley, and Paul Metz started working together in 2010 to write and perform songs that drew from and built on their eclectic musical roots. With the addition of Audrey Pescitelli (Bass), Jeremy Henning (Trombone & Guitar) and Michael Buerger (Trumpet) The Lower 5th has grown to become a band of power house musicians and leave it all on the stage with every performance. After the tragic loss of their Leader in 2018, Luke Jorgensen, the band committed to carry on in his honor an uplifting message of Hope and Togetherness that continues to resonate through their music today.
