What to expect
ALXC and the BIG/BAD is an electrifying show band that is sure to get the good times flowin' and the dance floor goin'! Our group has over 6 hours of music ready to perform, with more being added every day. We can function as small as a 4-piece traditional rock band, or as large as a full Earth, Wind, and Fire-style funk band, complete with multiple vocalists, rappers, and enough horns to take over a small country! We specialize in bringing high-energy shows with fresh renditions of your favorite songs, complete with a special twist from our group's own award-winning composer, Alexander Charles. Our entire act can be supported by our own industry-standard sound equipment and audio engineering, provided free-of-charge with each booking. No access to power? That's ok! Our entire setup can be powered by our own unobtrusive in-house electric generators. When you book with the BIG/BAD, you can leave the music to us.
