ALTON, IL – If there are any musicians who can best put a new face on a New Year, they are four very talented Alton musicians who call themselves “Off the Shoulder.” Aptly named, they put their unique spin on a great variety of hits from Adele to Alannis, Coldplay to country, the Beatles to Bonnie Raitt, and many more. This newly formed band of seasoned musical talent will make their debut on Jacoby Arts Center’s East Room Stage on Saturday evening, January 26 as a part of the LIVE at Jacoby: Saturday Nights concert series.

Gigi Darr, well known to Metro area audiences, plays a riveting keyboard that offers stability to any band. Christine Banda Banks, violin virtuoso, performs strings that can sooth or sizzle, complementing the awesome voice of Sharon Spence Korn who easily moves from one music style to another. Randy Banks on drums and percussion rounds out this electrifying group bringing a fresh, exciting energy to songs you know and love.
