Members scott944 Posted September 30, 2010 Members Share Posted September 30, 2010 Brad Paisley is from WV, though north of where I am. The actress Ann Magnuson, who had a side project with a band called "Bongwater" is from Charleston. The bass player for the Screamin' Cheetah Wheelies" is from here, as well. Billy Ray Cyrus shared club stages in Huntington with my brother's band, Cross Country, pre "Achey Breaky" ({censored} - now that's gonna be stuck in my head all morning).

Billy Ray Cyrus shared club stages in Huntington with my brother's band, Cross Country, pre "Achey Breaky" ({censored} - now that's gonna be stuck in my head all morning). Another WV boy! I was going to mention Brad Paisley, though he is from so far north he might as well be from Ohio. Also, both the bass player and the second guitarist in Keith Urban's band are from WV. Bass player from Pinch and guitarist from Ravenswood. I've actually jammed with the guitarist's dad. Then we've got people like Charlie McCoy and Kathy Matea, as well as Jennifer Garner, Pearl S. Buck, Charlie West, Soupy Sales and Don Knotts. Both Nick Nolte and Charlie Manson lived in Charleston at one time or another too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Hubert Stumblin Posted September 30, 2010 Members Share Posted September 30, 2010 C-4 covered most of the Jersey crowd but: From the Hub: Aerosmith, Boston (duh), The Cars, J. Geils Band, New Kids on the Block , Dick Dale, Godsmack, lots more. From the town in which I currently reside: Rob Zombie! The J. Geils Band may come out of Boston but J. Geils is from my hometown of Bernardsville, NJ. Or at least he lived there long enough that he went to my highschool (long before me, I think a couple of my older siblings were in school with him).
