“For 40 years Virginia born singer–songwriter Tiny Barge has been mixing it up musically. He started out with two bands he formed way back in junior high school, eventually getting his first pro-gig with the El Corols Band and Show. His talent as a song-writer soon became evident and helped change the sound of El Corols. Teaming up with songwriter Fangette Willett, Tiny was soon writing the songs being heard from many recording artists of the time. Forming “The Big Chill” in Colorado Springs in 1986, Tiny Barge and The Big Chill now play all over the US for corporate parties and events (like the John Elway Celebrity Golf Classic), but can frequently be found coming back to Colorado Springs for a night of rockin’ funky soul hits like they played Saturday night to a packed house at Stargazers Theatre.
