The Slightly Off Center Band evolved from a group of friends and acquaintances back in the 90’s that would gather together a few times a year and jam into the wee hours. Since then we’ve been playing gigs for a wide variety of special occasions. We’ve also played business functions such as the annual outdoor BBQ for the Medicine Shoppe on 33rd and the annual Spotlight on Seniors event at TCU Place. A highlight for the band was playing at the famous Manitou Beach Danceland. We have also enjoyed performing for the Brain Tumor Research Foundation at their Heading for a Cure and Spring Sprint events. Our jam band roots from over twenty-five years ago has given us a love for all kinds of music–blues, rock ‘n’ roll, folk, country, old time, and waltzes–from way back when to contemporary songs that strike our fancy.
Welcome
Welcome to the 2027 Heritage Festival of Saskatoon, celebrating Saskatoon and area’s civic, natural, cultural, and artistic heritage, and featuring events on Feb 7th and 10th.
2027 Theme
The 2027 festival theme, “Stories of Saskatoon”, invites everyone to discover the city’s heritage through our stories. Heritage is more than just buildings, historical dates, artifacts or even traditions. It is also the experiences, memories, values, people and events that help to create our collective identity. Stories bring those things to life and connect generations. They are how our heritage is remembered, understood, preserved and passed from one generation to the next. Each new story adds to, and helps to carry our heritage into the future.
