The remaining founder of Southern Comfort, Eugene Charles “Geno” Burbank
died peacefully at 12:25AM on October 20th, 2020, at Providence Hospital-Colby Campus, in Everett Washington. Born (1947) and raised in Kansas in a musical family, by the early 1970’s Gene had made his way to Washington State. It wasn’t long before he had immersed himself in the local music scene and became known as a first-class player, becoming a fixture with many local bands and a favorite guest at all of the local Jam sessions.
In the late 80’s Gene became the guitar player for a little local band called Carrie and Company. After the band had run its’ course, in 1990, Gene and Steve Key, the bass player from Carrie and Company, decided to start a new band… Southern Comfort.
Southern Comfort has always had great high energy instrumentation and top-notch vocals and vocal harmonies. Although the players have come and gone over the years, Gene has been there from the start. Much because of Gene, Southern Comfort has been a first-class band, in all of its forms, for all of its 30 years.
