Gov. Joe Manchin III of West Virginia has honored Nothin’ Fancy with a proclamation naming them “Honorary Mountaineers.” The recognition came as a surprise when the group was performing a recent concert in Weston, Va.

The proclamation recognized the band’s yearly volunteer performances to benefit the Lewis County, W. Va., Blue Brass Band.

The benefit raises funds to buy school band instruments for students who can’t afford them.

When the high school band performed earlier this summer for the governor, students and teachers informed Manchin about the support they received each year from Nothin’ Fancy.

One of Manchin’s aides surprised the band with the proclamation at last month’s benefit concert for “demonstrating an expression of goodwill and respect for the people of the Mountain State”.
