Southern Alibi is a five-piece powerhouse band born in the heart of the Texas Hill Country. The band began when lead vocalist Chandre Collette, an actress, singer, and Stage IV cancer fighter, decided that life was too short to keep putting dreams on hold. After sharing her bucket-list dream of fronting a country band, the right musicians came together, and Southern Alibi was born. What started as one woman’s dream quickly became something bigger. The band made its live debut on April 18, 2026, and has been making noise across Texas ever since. Meet the Band Chandre Collette – Lead Vocals The fire behind Southern Alibi’s creation.
