For the students, by the students

Offsuit continues to entertain crowds
By Meghan Stewart, Corner Post staff

Offsuit, a local Columbia band played at the Music Café March 3 and left the crowd in aw.

The band is made up of five University of Missouri students: Stephanie Bankston, vocalist and keyboard; Rob Boehm, vocalist and drummer; Morgan Dean, guitar; John Stewart, vocalist and guitar; and Darold Crotzer, better known as DOC vocalist and bass.

The band is mainly a cover band but they did play three of their own songs “Take A Chance,” “American Lullaby,” and “Don’t Wanna Be Left Alone.” They play everything from old rock and roll to Warren G’s and Nate Dogg’s “Regulators.” The crowd ate it up. People were dancing and signing along the entire night. There was even a crowd surfer. The band was having a great time up on stage and was loving listening to the crowd scream their names and cheer them before and after every song.

Offsuit has been playing together for almost a year now and are hoping they can continue to play for as long as people will listen. Boehm, DOC and Stewart have been playing together since high school. They met Bankston freshman year of college and the four of them along with John Parr started the band The Big “O.” The band decided to split up after freshman year ended but then reunited this year. But they were short a member. Parr decided not to join them. They found Dean, who joined them, and they became Offsuit shortly after that. The combination is pure harmony.

Offsuit is hoping to get another gig before this year ends, and the fans are hoping they get one soon.
