Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Erik Vincent Huey

Erik Huey grew up along the Monongahela River in West Virginia and Western Pennsylvania, the son of four generations of coal miners. That background runs deep in both his life and his music. He was raised in a world shaped by working-class struggle, Appalachian tradition, and the kind of hard-earned perspective that never really leaves you. At the same time, he came of age blasting punk bands like The Clash, X, and the Sex Pistols, absorbing their raw energy, rebellion, and refusal to play by the rules.
