[edit] Group Info
Contrary to the group's name, there are only four members at the time:
- Chris Fedun (born January 14, 1986)
- Brandon Hargest (born March 17, 1987)
- Brittany Hargest (born August 2, 1988)
- Lesley Moore (born October 17, 1986)
- Libby Hodges (born April 2, 1987) was part of the original Jump5, but left in early 2004 to go back to a normal life.
After Libby left, Nashville-native Natasha Noack filled in for her on the Jump5 Spring Tour 2004, but the group mutually decided that it would in the band's best interest to remain with the four original members.
Jump5 have toured with Aaron Carter, A*Teens, Baha Men and Radio Disney Live, as well as two headline tours.
