Offering

About Me

Launching the listener on an acoustic rock journey, Offering engages its audience with a repertoire of songs which speak to the desperation and fragility of life interspersed with messages of hope reminiscent of groups such as U2, Lifehouse, and Switchfoot. Established in 1999, and headed by lead singer and founder Jeanine Guidry, Offering plays between 70-90 shows a year, mainly in the mid-Atlantic region, and has released three full-length albums.
The band plays in diverse venues such as festivals, coffee shops, restaurants, churches, and community events. In an effort to make music make a difference, Offering as a non-profit often sponsors food drives and community-enhancing efforts. With an acoustic rock sound anchored in guitar and piano, supplemented by strings, flute, and world percussion, Offering marries music, passion, and response to a difficult world.
