Tom Blevins - The Smyth County Jam welcomes Tom Blevins to our stage for his first time here. Tom comes from Whitetop, Virginia. He is a neighbor of Jessee Finley in the Middle Fork area of Whitetop. Tom plays guitar and is a gifted singer. He says he worked as a long-distance trucker for about twenty-some years. He is now retired. Tom has two children. Tom's father Dennis (Dent) played about every stringed instrument. Tom says he played with the original Whitetop Mountain Band along with Jessee and Albert Hash. Tom has been playing guitar since he was about five years old. He says he admires the music of Larry Sparks very much. We hope he will come back to the jam and play and sing again soon.
