Five Times August is the solo act of singer/songwriter Brad Skistimas. Skistimas has appeared on the FOX Business channel as an expert „Do-It-Yourself“ indie artist and featured in Billboard Magazine, Performing Songwriter, Guitar Player, PeopleMagazine, and USA Today. He was the first completely unsigned act to have an album distributed in Walmart stores nationwide with 2007’s „The Independent.“ The music has been featured on many popular TV shows, commercials, and films and tour dates have supported some of the nation’s top acts.
In early 2021 Five Times August began releasing a series of protest songs taking aim at Covid-era regulations, the Biden administration, Justin Trudeau, as well as Anthony Fauci with the hit song „Sad Little Man,“ which reached #1 on several Amazon and Apple Music charts.
