Long BIO
Clover Overboard is a 5-piece, girl-powered Celtic-rock band with pop punk tendencies in Lethbridge, Alberta. Their songs and energy echo the stylings of Great Big Sea, Hey Rosetta!, and Flogging Molly. The band got together in late 2022 and has been gigging in Lethbridge ever since. They released their debut EP, Jack & Finnigan, in 2025 and have enough original material for a full length album, to boot.

Lead singer, songwriter, and rhythm guitarist Alexanne Oke hails from St. John's, Newfoundland. She loves putting her Bachelor of Management (Marketing) degree to use as Band Manager and Marketing Manager, handling strategic planning, website management, socials, ads, PR, and more. Since starting the band, Alexanne has completely transformed her voice from soft and quiet to something that gives a nod to the band’s punk inspirations.
Alina Khvatova is the band’s fiddle player (or violin if you ask her) and Graphic Artist; she created the album art for all three singles, the Jack & Finnigan EP, and designed the band’s t-shirts. Between teaching violin and playing in the Lethbridge Symphony Orchestra, the Musaeus Quartet, Wander West, and Clover Overboard, Alina is a full-time musician. She began her Bachelor of Music at age 14 and now holds a Masters in Music Performance.
Lyndsay Labrecque is the band’s drummer and Producer. She’s an internationally acclaimed sound designer for theatre production and has been known as the DJ/producer, Rabbyt, for 15 years. Lyndsay has since transformed her technical skills into recording and mixing for the band in her studio. As a drummer, she brings some serious energy to Clover Overboard’s sound with her previous experience in punk bands and an outlaw country band. Lyndsay plays a custom Laurin hybrid electric-acoustic drum kit which gives the band a modern look and feel.
Lead guitarist Meg Schritt doubles as the band’s Booking Manager, handling logistics and communications for all the band’s performances. They lend a necessary crunch to the band’s sound while laying down clean, creative solos on their Les Paul. Meg also performs backing vocals for Clover Overboard—most notably, the call & response additions for the song Jack & Finnigan, including the barks. During performances, their puns between songs make for great on-stage banter. They’ve been playing guitar for 20 years and barking for 30.
​
Keely Evanoff joined the band on bass in summer of 2025, replacing prog-rock aficionado Nolan Musch as he delves into solo work. Keely holds a Bachelor of Music and is a Faculty of Fine Arts Gold Medal Winner for her skills and contributions at the University of Lethbridge (she also plays upright double bass and tuba). She plays in the established psychedelic, folk- and prog-inspired band, The Decadent Phase, as well as the Lethbridge Symphony Orchestra. Keely brings a wealth of knowledge in all things gear and tech, as she majored in Digital Audio Arts and works at a music store.
As a whole, Clover Overboard just wants to make people dance and feel things. If determination means anything, this is one band to watch.

"Playing in a lot of bands, I know when there is genuine love and emotion set into the music and when you listen to Clover Overboard, you hear them not only play to the audience but you hear them play with their hearts.
They engage the audience with their music and when you hear the cross of Celtic themes with rock/punk percussive back beat, you are taken to another place. In music, the heart is what you want and this is a band that, as long as they always stay true to themselves, will always be giving the best version of this magic." — Stormy Allen, Professional Musician
