Chevy 6

Chevy 6 was formed in Spring of 1974 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Realizing ​that oldies music was becoming more and more popular through groups ​such as Sha Na Na and movies such as “American Graffiti,” it was a natural ​next step to form a band that would play these great songs to throngs of ​partying University students. Though the startup was rocky, due to the fact ​that many musicians thought that playing oldies was beneath them, the ​band finally got off the ground and soared immediately. The “show band” ​format was utilized, and Chevy 6 had four of them: A fifties revue, The ​Brenda Burford Show, the Soul Revue and 60s Review were each jam ​packed with some of the best songs from this great period in rock and roll.

During the 38 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, to the stages of some of the finest and funniest clubs in the ​south, to a huge fertilizer barn in Faunsdale, Alabama. .

Chevy 6 plies their trade wherever it needs plying.
