About
Meeting in school, right before the 1967 riot and inspired by the sounds of the day, Keith Collins hooked up with brothers Marvin and Damon Gardner. Keith recalls we were about 14 when we officially formed the Ovation When Keith found out Damon could sing, really sing! The trio got together bumped heads, and have been together ever since.
They've had their ups and downs like any group. Broken up and come back together. But they haven't given up. Along the way, the trio has done everything from leaping out of nightclub balconies wearing homemade capes and crash helmets to spearheading a long list of community projects.
The 45's Ultimate Ovation released in the 1970's are now highly collectible including the soul-stomper "Chameleon Man."
