American Minor

Anybody like good ole rockin' roll? Check out www.americanminormusic.com, they're from West Virginia around Huntington and the Kanawha River Valley.

They have a song titled Buffalo Creek that is about the 1972 Buffalo Creek mining disaster that killed a couple hundred people in a WV mining town after heavy rains broke a earthen dam.

They're signed to Jive records and are great guys, I met them at two shows in Huntington 3-5-05 and 3-12-05.

Hope this is legal!

Rock on!

I had some 1st cousins once removed that were in the flood at Buffalo Creek that spelled their last name Berry, they all survived though.

92, the music reminds me of Skynyrd...but the singing doesn't really...although the guy does have a good voice... i have been playing music myself for about 3 and 1/2 years..so i am really into the local music scene and glad to see some of these WV bands getting some recognition..ever hear of Byzantine?.. www.byzantine1.com they are from WV also..but you probably wouldn't like them unless you are into metal..but there is lots of talent to be discovered in ye ole hills!...

my last name, Barry, actually is from a family in California..ok..i know..you're wondering..wtf?..well..its a looooong story...but i'll try to make it short...my mom was married to a guy,he died from cancer,about 2 years later i was born,and had the Barry name pinned on me..so thats how i got that name...
