Chigger Red was formed as a Southern boogie powerhouse rock and roll band, which leaves no illusions about who they are or where they come from. It's all right there in the music. Southerners have always been a rebellious hell raisin' bunch and this definitely applies to Chigger Red. The band has been featured on two Rock City Records compilations ("Heavy Millennium", Vols. 1 & 3), and has won several awards, including Best Blues Rock Band for 1998 and 1999 and Outstanding Southern Rock Band for 1999 by Rock City News Magazine. Mike Stansberry won Best Guitar Player in the same magazine for four years straight beginning in 1996, while Chris Stansberry won Best Bass Player in 1999.
