Rich Busch played in a band called November Tribe in the 90's. They were based out of Richmond, Virginia and had the talent and "Drive" at the time to make a band happen, but fate would not deal its card at the time and eventually the band broke up. The tour manager for a time was non other than Chris White, an up-in-coming bassist at the time who was hungry for a chance to play. They would again work together, this time with their instruments and a fusion Jazz/Rock sound. Taking original songs and covers and eliminating the vocals all together and doing an improve thing with the song structures... very creative.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------Ken Ford played coffee houses in Martinsberg, Wv and always dreamed of becoming a professional musician.

By age 8, he was writing songs, and dreaming of life on the stage. Thomas spent his high school and college years fine tuning his live performance, with various bands, all the while perfecting his songwriting craftsmanship. Thomas notes, "A good songwriter tells a story and evokes feelings with their lyrics." One memorable moment, during this period, was performing onstage with the Grammy winning rock group, Wilco. Thomas explains, "Being onstage with Wilco was the thrill of a lifetime for me. Its something I'll always remember." In 2003, Mark Thomas saw commercial success when his band, The Boneyard Brothers, released their first EP. The bands heart-wrenching lyrics became their forte and were apparent on the six song EP. Thomas adds, "If you can make someone feel, or effect someones emotions with a song, then you've done your job as a songwriter." The Boneyard Brothers established a wide fan base with their witty rock performances. 2005 saw The Boneyard Brothers opening for such national acts as the Gin Blossoms. College Music Review, based in Pittsburgh, named The Boneyard Brothers, "West Virginia's Greatest Rock Band." In the fall of 2005, The Boneyard Brothers hit the studio to record their first full-length album, titled, Unintentionally Planned. Stay Tuned for that.
