And in this corner, weighing in at 165 pounds, accompanied by three chords and one can of whoop ass, is West Virginia's own folk/punk superhero, OL' VW. Armed only with a beat up acoustic guitar and the occasional Casio keyboard, OL' VW will assault you with a barrage of high energy tunes ranging from punk rock to political bluegrass. Self-described as "John Prine being fisted by the Dead Milkmen," OL' VW will make you think, make you laugh, and make you wonder, "Is everything that comes from West Virginia this twisted?" With dialogue and stage antics that are just as entertaining and engaging as the songs themselves, OL' VW consistently keeps the audience guessing as he hammers them with a twenty song, forty-five minute set. With one full-length release under his belt and another in works, the OL' VW train is gaining momentum and an ever-increasing fanbase, enticed by his honesty and odd charm. OL' VW invites you to "Get on this train now before it ties you to the tracks, runs you over, and chops your head off!"
