They were founded in 2004 deep in the foothills of Eastern Kentucky as the Blue Collar Band, composed of Goble Cantrell and Mark Rohan (drums) along with Don Hayes and Dean Ball. After discovering that another band already existed in Louisville, Kentucky, with the name "Blue Collar Band", the band added "Kentucky" to its name and thus became the Kentucky Blue Collar Band.
