As many of you are aware Jim Pavlick has stepped down from 5th Gear and as a band we all want to thank him for all his hard work and effort he put into the group.  Jim’s photography and art work  are going strong and Pavlick Studio is still available for your many needs. 

 

While Dave Rice has been recouping from his recent knee surgery we’ve been working in a new Keyboardist and would like to introduce you to him.  Donny Wilkins is a fine keyboardist probably best know around here as a member of a local 80’s band, ACTS, that also made their mark on the national music scene.  Donny has also been the musical director for Blue’s on the Bridge here in Binghamton for several years.  He is a multi-instrumentalist singer/songwriter and recording artist that has stepped up in a big way to fill the big spot Jim has left with his departure.  We are really looking forward to this new chapter with the band and hope to see all our fans welcome Donny at all our December & 2025 gigs.
