MORE ABOUT CINDY ALEXANDER & OFFSUIT

Offsuit is a Kitchener/St. George based rock n' roll band specializing in music that is recognizable across generations. They play songs from legendary artists spanning four decades with which everyone is familiar, but avoid the songs that most cover bands have overdone.

From Guns n' Roses and Pink Floyd to The Monkees, The Eagles, even Huey Lewis and the News. The set is an eclectic blend of favourites suitable for all ages.

St. George's Cindy Alexander is also the CC in "CC & the Boys." She is a star on the rise in the jazz groove. She is an accomplished artist with credits singing lead for popular bands including The River Bandits, Offsuit and Nite Out. Her smooth styling's are hauntingly reminiscent of Billy Holiday, Sarah Vaughn, Peggy Lee with a little Mae West. CC recaptures music and feelings from a bygone era in a time when life was simple and pure. She crystallizes nostalgia into a heartfelt performance that delights both the young and the young at heart.
