Four friends, a few drinks, and a shared passion for ’90s rock make this West Virginia band worth showing up for.
“We always want the crowd to have a good time, knowing we love what we do and appreciate every one of them for being there with us.” Nothing Noble

Meet the Band
Nothing Noble knows exactly what they’re here to do: make sure everyone in the room is having a good time. The result is a band built on chemistry, humor, and big, familiar sounds that hit just right live.

Hailing from the Beckley area, each member brings their own personality and preferred beverage to the stage:
Clinton Scott, Guitar, angelic vocals, and PBRs
Dave Marcus, Drums, more cowbells, and Mich Ultras
Chris Huddle, Guitar, crowd love, and Crown Royals
Chris Berry, Bass, backing banter, and tequilas
You can keep up with the band on their Facebook page, where they post show dates and news.

How Nothing Noble Found Its Sound
Nothing Noble didn’t just appear overnight. The members had played together in other bands for years before putting this project together. Clinton and Chris Huddle once opened for Dave and Chris Berry’s previous group, and after one small set with the Nothing Noble lineup, both the band and the crowd knew it was something special.

The band’s name came together just as organically. Dave suggested Nothing Noble during one of their first meetings. Inspired by an Ernest Hemingway poem, it stuck immediately.

Musically, the group draws from the ’80s and ’90s, leaning into the heavier sounds of the latter decade. Influences like Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, Deftones, Tool, and Incubus have all left their mark.

Rooted in Beckley, Proud in Appalachia
Being part of the Greenbrier Valley music scene is deeply meaningful for the band.

“We’re from the Beckley area, so it’s a huge honor. We love West Virginia and being from where we’re from. All of us were born and raised in Southern Appalachia. There are so many ridiculously talented musicians and artists here. To be even a small part of it is humbling and incredible.”

High-Energy Shows, Big Local Love
For listeners, Nothing Noble wants everyone to walk away energized, singing along, dancing, and feeling connected.

“We always want the crowd to have a good time, knowing we love what we do and appreciate every one of them for being there with us.”

Some of their most memorable moments include their first show and multiple appearances at Tamarack’s Summerfest and Fallfest, where the energy was electric and the band felt truly at home.

“The crowd response at our first show let us know we were doing something right. The place was packed, and everyone was singing along the whole time.”

Looking Ahead: New Music and Big Shows
Coming up, Nothing Noble has its sights set on Greenbrier Valley Brewing Company’s Picklefest this spring, followed by Summerfest at Tamarack. Writing new original music is also on the horizon.

“We’re aiming to write more original music this year. It’s exciting to think about.”

Advice From the Stage
For aspiring musicians, the band keeps it simple:

“Always be true to yourself and to your craft. You’ve got to love what you do and keep doing it. Never stop learning. Take good advice, but don’t let anyone tell you how to do what you already know how to do.”

Backstage Shenanigans
Nothing Noble nearly broke up over a disagreement about Led Zeppelin, and yes, “60 percent of the time, we’re half-lit every time.” But that mix of friendship, humor, and chaos is exactly what makes the band work.

Nothing Noble proves that local music thrives when people show up and turn it up. With riffs, rhythm, and a rotation of favorite drinks, the band shows that being part of the Greenbrier Valley music scene is both something to celebrate and a ticket to a great time.
