From the beginning of the coal boom and earlier, Scott's Run had a music heritage in which banjo, guitar, and gospel music provided entertainment and soothed the soul. FSA photographers of the 30s documented a moment in that time. Al Anderson brought rock and roll music to Osage with his singing in The Fabians and The Dominoes, starting in 1959 and continuing thereafter. Music and dance went together, and the Bunny Hop at the end of this row brought dancers to Osage in the 50s and 60s. At age 17, Ellie Mannette invented the steel drum in Trinidad, later made West Virginia home for his factory in the WVU World Music Center in the 70s, and in 2009 brought it to the community of Osage. In 2014, Chris Haddox wrote two folk songs telling the story of the area, and they were recorded on the Songs and Stories of Scott's Run CD in 2016. Eugene Wayman Jones was the dynamic music director at Monongalia High School in the 30s, where he organized an a capella choir that sang for community events and churches throughout the area, as well as in DC, NJ, and NYC. Sarah Little was among the choir members when the group was invited to sing for President Franklin Roosevelt at the White House in 1942, and she continued singing afterward, including for more than 15 years with the Flying Colors.
