Fifth Business

Incarnation

Fifth Business is a Boston-based musical group that coagulated around a handful of basement demos cobbled together by guitarist/singer/dilettante John Greene. After an exciting run and a planned absence that was extended by the machinations of a cruel universe, they are back at it again.

John: Vox/Rythm

Andy: Drums

Richard: Bass

Eric: Lead

Jason: Lead (Inactive)

John is an actor, writer, and musician with deep local roots. He terrorized audiences in as the frontman of The Slurred Murray’s before transitioning to the dark brooding pop frontiers of Pyotr/Verre. His live projects were heavily interspersed with theater and a number of other recording projects.

Andy is an NYC transplant, who prior to nesting in Boston, held down the percussion for Leigh-Ra. Prior to holding the beat down in the village haunts for that group, he did the same for The Fultons.

Richard most recently held down a guitar spot with Guillermo Sexo. Prior to his long and fruitful run in that outfit. Prior to that, Richard stroked angular, exciting guitar lines for Autochrome.

Eric joined the band organically in 2022 courtesy of a side project that had begun with Andy. His lead guitar talents were eventually folded into Fifth Business as Jason took a step back. He was a regular in the local porch fest circuit with his group Miss Moses with whom he was the primary songwriter, guitarist, and singer.

Jason is a former WFNX radio personality who has since drawn a number of musical projects into his orbit. He banged on the drums for Drab, fronted with the guitar for Sunken Armada as well as augmented the sounds of Emerald Comets across a few different instruments. He currently is taking a hiatus from live performances.
