Listen to some great Chevy 6 songs
Chevy
6 was formed in April of 1974. Started with the premise
that oldies were the best thing to party to, Chevy 6
has weathered the storm of every musical phase, and
continued to plow away at it, oblivious to all around
them.
Ben
Burford, lead singer is the original and founding member.
Ben (or “Benje” as he is also known) works
with DavisDenny,
an Alabama advertising company. In addition, his fine
art, signed “Burf”, is drawing both critical
acclaim and a good deal of gawking. Ben is also a hack
actor, having appeared in local and national commercials,
on stage, and even in the movie Mississippi Masala with
Denzel Washington. Ben’s time on screen clocked
in at one minute and 50 seconds. He’s married
with two kids.
Ken
Murray is the second oldest member of the group, starting
in the summer of 1976. Ken hails from Daleville, in
the wiregrass area of Alabama. His life outside of Chevy
6 finds him in the Faunsdale area. Ken is single.
Roe Collins is drummer for Chevy 6. He joined the band
in 1979. Roe is from Demopolis, Alabama. Outside of
Chevy 6, Roe is an entrepreneur in Montgomery. When
there’s time (and there is time), Roe will spend
it with his wife and three kids.
Richard
Crawford is guitarist, joining in Winter of 1991. Rico
is some kind of big cheese with the State Employment
Office when he’s not playing with Chevy 6. He’s
married with one son.
During the twenty-eight years of existence, Chevy 6
has played for a massive array of events. From appearances
on CBS’s “30 Minutes” at an orgiastic
fraternity party, to 3,000 tie-and-tails attendees at
a Rhode Island wedding soiree, to conventions, conferences
and reunions aplenty, to the deck of the USS Alabama,
to the deck of the steamboat Robert E. Lee, to Washington,
D.C. for the “Taste of the South” festival,
to Birmingham’s City Stages festival, to Gulf
Shores’ Shrimp Festival, giant pep rallies at
the University of Alabama for losing games to Tennessee
and Auburn, to the stages of some of the finest and
funnest clubs in the south, to a huge fertilizer barn
in Faunsdale, Alabama. . .Chevy 6 plies their trade
wherever it needs plying.
