Blending high-energy Rock n Roll with tasteful grooves, there is an emphasis on collective, goal-driven improvisation. Every performance is unique, leaving the listener excited for where the band may venture with their broad range of styles at their next show.

Whether they are playing with Twiddle, Dopapod, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, TAUK, Particle, Kung Fu, Assembly of Dust, Cycles, Spiritual Rez, The Heavy Pets, or gracing the stages of festivals such as The Werkout, Catskill Chill, Adirondack Independence Fest, Disc Jam, Wormtown, or Great North, Formula 5 continues to bring their sound to new fans throughout the Northeast and beyond.

Shantyman is a super-funk quartet hailing from the hills of Massachusetts. They tastefully blend various genres from Funky Reggae to Soul and bad ass Rock n' Roll. The beat is held down by an insanely hard hitting drummer/lead singer resembling much of Levon Helm and John Bonham. Funky slap-style bass lines and a Garcia-esque guitar player provide groovin' melodies for music enthusiasts of all ages to enjoy. Constantly playing impromptu style set lists, Shantyman is a tidal wave of peaking riffs, crashing into a funk filled sea of pure joy and excitement
