Album Notes

Chas Collins

When country performer Chas Collins steps on stage, it’s no secret why so many people are sure he’s going to be a star someday. Whether it’s his signature vocals, his high-energy stage show, or watching the 6'6 cowboy step offstage just to stir the crowd up even more, he makes it happen. And people notice.

“Our clientele have raved about his performances, and have requested his return every time we have had him,” said Bobby Pollard, entertainment coordinator for a recent venue. “As a consequence, I have booked him several times in the near future.”

Chas was born and raised in Belle Chasse, Louisiana, where music was always a part of his life. He visited Nashville just a few years ago to record his first CD at Magic Tracks Studio, with producers Al Jones and Butch Johnson.

Released in 2005, They Wanna Hang a Bad Boy sold just over 400 copies in the first few months, and Chas was offered a recording contract with Greenhouse Records. Then the hurricane hit.

The remaining 600 copies of the CD were lost after Katrina, along with nearly everything Chas owned. But even that didn’t stop him. It just made him work harder.

Determined to follow his dream, Chas headed for Nashville with nothing but a few changes of clothes and the money in his pocket. He put together his current band, made up of talented musicians : Dale Boudreaux (Piano, Keys, Guitar, and B/G Vocals), Justin "Trigger" Cook (Bass), Bob Houston (Lead Guitar and B/G Vocals), and Rob Pate (Drums, Percussion).

These days, Chas is working harder than ever at doing what he loves. He covers everything from his own hard-hitting originals to current country hits to classic rock favorites. Chas is currently on tour!!!!
