Welcome to The OFFBEATS website! We had a very successful 2023, and are already receiving enquiries for next year. We would love to help you with your entertainment needs for 2024. Feel free to check back with us whenever you can. We'd love to hear from you. Thank you for visiting!


Our history

The OFFBEATS is a four piece band consisting of Chris Towells, Barry Johnson, Doug Collier, and Lee Batchelor. The band's key musical focus is to provide great dance music covering classic Rock, Soul and a touch of Country with great artists such as Stevie Wonder, Hall & Oates, Smokey Robinson, Dwight Yoakum, Sam and Dave, Joe Cocker, Wilson Pickett, Chuck Berry, Vince Gill, The Four Tops, and The Mavericks - to name a few.

We have been performing across southern Ontario since 2016 and our audiences continue to grow. We hope you can come out and hear our band soon. To see where we are performing next, please browse the Upcoming shows page on this website.
